<p>[QUOTE="coleguy, post: 700620, member: 9167"]We didn't know what tribe they belonged to before we were told by BLM. We didn't in fact take them to BLM, but rather the local library as they have large displays of such artifacts. The library informed the BLM, who then took the pieces. Had we known that would happen, I much rather would have seen them in the hands of the tribe that they belonged to. I'm not sure the Paiute's even have a representative council anymore. As far as being sacred, I doubt it. they were described as water vessels used to transport water, and seeing as the place we found them in was littered with small caves and alcoves directly above a spring, I'm assuming they were stored there for convenience. But, you're right. If I ever find anything like that again, with the internet now, I'll conduct my own research and gladly hand them over to the rightful owners, or better yet, mark the location with gps and tell them where they can get it themselves.</p><p>Guy~[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
