: Hi Or. A least here in California if you just touch

: even go to jail. I suppose that law exists because

: developer hit into an Native American burial
: ground. This happened in Santa Barbara once in
: the late 1980s.
: Peter
It's the same here, I'm not alloud to collect these things, but I collect them from fields, which in a few years will be urbanised(?).
I wish I could donate those things to a museum, but in the mean(?) time I prefer to be left unknown. Sometimes on websites there are simple and ugly things that are soled at 200$, if it would have been legal to sell flint tools from Israel people wont think that 2000$ is to much.
also here there are many roads that were stopped in the middle of their construction as they discovered a cave or a site of prehistoric people, I'm planning to go and help digging in such a site.
