The antiquities folk couldn't care less about them, to be honest, UNLESS you get caught taking one out of the country. There are literally piles of pot shards in the desert. With so many, there isn't much point in bothering them. Many of them are dig debris and have just been dumped. It's hard to imagine just how much stuff there is here until you see it.<br /><br />My daughter is doing her PhD in paleoanthropology at NYU and she goes nuts every time she comes home for a visit. So many bones and no way to identify or use them since they are no longer on site.Maryanne Stroud Gabbanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00858132776788616956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3269596104755521067.post-3847356037186294572010-05-28T04:19:27.348+02:002010-05-28T04:19:27.348+02:00I agree with Susan, as a future archeologist, I d...I agree with Susan, as a future archeologist, I do say that it was probably best left untouched, but still perhaps you can get permission for the antiquities department to investigate. how lucky for you!Catgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17057548512909564843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3269596104755521067.post-60579759640991950372010-05-26T06:33:05.676+02:002010-05-26T06:33:05.676+02:00I doubt very much that they are of much use to arc...I doubt very much that they are of much use to archaeologists at this point. It's highly likely that others have disturbed them, but I like the idea of them being there.Maryanne Stroud Gabbanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00858132776788616956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3269596104755521067.post-4948191073013294102010-05-26T04:51:29.412+02:002010-05-26T04:51:29.412+02:00Soooooooo many mysteries in that desert.
