Two Texas men pleaded guilty to illegally excavating about 1,500 artifacts from federal land, according to acting U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Prerak Shah.
Jeffrey Vance, 37, of San Marcos, and Dax Wheatley, 32, of Amarillo, pleaded guilty to violating the Archeological Resources Protection Act, a release from Shah s office said.
In March of 2019, the Bureau of Land Management received a tip that an illegal excavation had occurred on a Native American cultural site at the Cross Bar Management Area, just north of Amarillo, Texas, federal officials said in a release Friday.
Local officials determined the illegal excavation happened at a former homestead of the Antelope Creek Culture, at a site known as 41PT109, Shah said. Native Americans lived in the Texas panhandle between approximately 1200 and 1500 A.D.
