Petition: Stop Spike TV from looting our collective past
I’m serious guys, this is really fucking important.
Archaeological sites can only be dug up once. They want to go in with metal detectors, locate ‘treasure’, bulldoze it, and sell it. If there’s an artefact there,…
Serious business, guys.
A video introduction to an exhibit at the Smithsonian based on a site just down the road from my college.

Note:
I was clicking around the site and checked out the webcomic…it’s cheesy but cute and has photographic evidence from the actual case it illustrates. I know it’s a cartoon, but the college student looks and dresses like me. So I’m a little creeped out.
