Cultural and historical resources. Humans have inhabited North America for millennia and remnants of these ancient cultures have been discovered throughout the country. Many of these places are considered sacred by Native American people. Distrubing cultural sites may render them useless for study and observation in the future, and shows disregard for early American cultures. Even touching rock art can hasten its decay.
Federal regulations protect all archaeological sites and artifacts.
Likewise, antlers, fossils, and plants are best left in place for others to enjoy. Many cultural sites are not immediately evident. Cliff bases may have been prehistoric shelter or camping spots. Please do not move anything in such places, because context can be just as improtant to archaeologists as the objects themselves. Report any suspected cultural sites to the land managers or owners.
