Topic: The Pothunters


In the News (Thu 16 Feb 12)

  
  King
The depredations of pothunters in overseas venues are well known, reported as they are regularly both in the professional literature and in popular publications.
Whether this reflects an increase in pothunting is open to question; the high level of attention recently focussed on the problem by federal agencies and the Congress is undoubtedly causing incidents to be reported that in the past would have gone unremarked.
And the will to enforce is not always very strong, particularly where pothunting is conducted by the same well-financed, well-armed, and often well-connected people who run the local illicit drug business, or where pothunting is an important component of the local economy.

As you say, we have the same 4 or 5 people winning the same classes in different shows (even though they should be barred).
The pothunters seem to think that we don't know that they've already won a 2'6 class the week before.
Also the show organisers and judges know who these people are but never disqualify them or apprehend them before they enter.

Along a remote stretch of the Mimbres River in southwestern New Mexico, USDA Forest Service officers Cathy Van Camp and Mike Skinner crawl to within yards of where three men are digging in the ruins of a pre-Columbian pueblo.
The line at the edge of circumstantial evidence is always a fuzzy, gray one.
When pothunters are caught in the act of digging, it's tricky to make a case against them.

Although we ask that only genuine novices enter for the novice classes, last time in both horse and pony comps we had the same three people winning novice and open classes.
In my dressage riding club we made an exception for old (15+) horses with more than 50 point to compete in the prelim/novice test PROVIDING they were not ridden by a ridder who had won any points, that way an experienced horse could compete to give a novice rider the fun and experience of competition.
The thing is that you will always have them (pothunters) and you can only minimise the damage.

In three of the cases pothunters are digging and stealing artifacts in the entrances, and sometimes intruding farther into the caves, disturbing the bats.
The cave has not been gated before, and will need about 494 square feet of gate at the entrance, which is 62 ft. wide and 4 to 15 ft. high.
The colony was re-establishing itself in the large dome room in recent years, but they abandoned that area last years, probably because of disturbance by at least two groups of pothunters.

Archaeologists (most) are not dependent on, nor is their work related to the vandalism of pothunters...
Of course, there are exceptions, like Archaeologist Chris Turnbow, Museum of Anthropology, New Mexico, who has been working during the warmer months, with local USFS archaeologist Bob Schiowitz, at repatriating sites previously dug by pothunters on the upper Gila...
However, these archaeologists mainly work on other projects and the "viability" of their work does not seem dependent on pothunters.

 High Country News -- September 30, 1996: If they build it, will more come?
The Bureau of Land Management has removed an old mice-infested trailer and wants to build a 1,600-square-foot center to teach people how not to disturb sensitive archaeological sites.
But some Utahns, including outfitter Ken Sleight and local Navajos, oppose the plan because they say it will make the area - already well-known by pothunters - more accessible.
The main reason for building the center seems to be the availability of $500,000 for such a project, adds Dave Pacheco of the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance.
