Is Artifact Collecting a Threat to Archeology in Florida?
Clip: Season 1 Episode 15 | 6m 7sVideo has Closed Captions
New legislation would allow amateur archeologists to collect artifacts in Florida waters.
We met with archeologists to discuss what they see as a threat to archeology in Florida: new legislation that would allow people to take artifacts from state waters. Dr. James Dunbar had overseen a similar program when he was state archaeologist; he claims that it can't work. The antiquities market places a high value on Florida finds, he says, driving people to go beyond what the law allows.
