ANCHORAGE, Alaska, March 23 (UPI) _ A 26-year-old Alaska man who
describes himself as an ``Indiana Jones type'' has pleaded guilty to
stealing the 1,400-year-old remains from an ancient grave site in
Southeast Alaska. The Anchorage Daily News reports (Tuesday) that Ian
Martin Lynch, who also sees himself as a ``treasure hunter,'' is the
first person to be prosecuted in Alaska under the 20-year-old
Archeological Resources Protection Act. He faces a possible six-month
prison term and may have to pay $10,000 in restitution to restore the
grave site.
