NATIVE AMERICAN SITES BULLDOZED IN ARIZONA!

Arizona State Parks & Trails has dug up and bulldozed Native American and other archaeological sites without preserving artifacts in a rush to build visitor attractions and make money, a state archaeologist claims.
In one case, Parks unearthed ancient stone tools and caused "irreversible" damage to a site dating back 12,000 years, according to agency memos.

The archaeologist, Will Russell, told The Arizona Republic he repeatedly cautioned Parks officials that the work could violate the law and destroy artifacts, but he was overruled and even threatened by top agency managers, including Parks Director Sue Black.

"There are dozens of archaeological sites that have been wrecked" because Parks officials didn't want to delay development plans, Russell told The Republic. Russell left his job with Parks on Oct. 15 and now works for another state agency.
