: 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.

This is a fascinating news item. Where did you find it? Isn't it ironic that if it were 60-70 years ago, we'd be reading of his return from his trip in Alaska, being met at the plane/boat by the civic leaders congratulating him on his successful quest and discovery. Times, they are a changing. Regards. Michaelson
