Ancient Ohio sites lack state protection from archaeology scavengers

Almost 4,000 years ago, two women and six children were buried in a shallow cave at the base of a cliff in what is now Jackson County. Their remains, like their names and community, were lost to time, left untouched in a “rock shelter” burial ground. That was until Nov. 26, 2012, when three men arrived with shovels in their hands and dollar signs in their eyes, federal prosecutors said.
