The laws are pretty stringent in this part of the world as regards defacing historical monuments, but i guess its not as clear cut in the states especially with regard to the history between native americans and the european colonists, i guess Ireland and england have not got that element to factor in so its easier in that sense. These artifacts are very much assets to these areas if people could be convinced of it, as the world becomes more urbanized these areas are becoming ever more significant from a cultural and tourist standpoint. In this country the individual doesn't really own the artifact even if its on their land, that is in the sense that they can't alter it, it belongs to us all.Gernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423901.post-56271149571421148062012-07-07T09:02:37.706-06:002012-07-07T09:02:37.706-06:00Preservation is a difficult task.

There are also some volunteers that patrol the sites. There is actually not much graffiti considering the proximity to the large urban population. It seems that educational efforts over the past twenty or thirty years has had some beneficial results.<br /><br />I wrote a brief article on the subject some time ago when we lived near many rock art sites in southern New Mexico.
