Protecting Archaeological Sites from Looting and Vandalism with Shannon Cowell and Anastasia Walhovd

The Bureau of Indian Affairs and Archaeology Southwest are partners in a multi-year Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) agreement to provide Archaeological Resources Protection Act (ARPA) assistance. The team collaborates with Tribal Nations to prevent, detect, and respond to archaeological resource crimes. Shannon and Anastasia discuss the ARPA Assistance Initiative, the website SaveHistory.org, historical trends and current issues in ARPA investigations and prosecutions, and how members of the public can respond when they encounter looting and vandalism on the ground or online.
