"It belongs in a museum [collection]"
-Indiana Jones

Archaeologists don't usually agree with the fictional Dr. Jones, except when it comes to snakes and museum objects. 🐍

Did you know it's illegal to disturb or remove archaeological resources from Federal lands? The Archaeological Resources Protection Act of 1979 (ARPA) imposes fines and/or jail time for violations. No digging, metal detecting, or any other disturbance of resources is permitted at Minute Man. Leave the archaeology to the experts!
