"People need to be sensitive," he said. "Once you move a bottle, once you move an arrowhead, the historical significance is reduced."

The historical significance is greater when it's not known about? Duh, aaah, what?

Thanks Ron, informative and it has it's place but... Blah blah.
We're talking Shi%^ers. Dating the age of the shi% doesn't date a bottle. What about that pontil that got tossed in for fill at the top in the teens or the 1860 penny that dropped down into a 1880 privy after it's dug.. Those rules just don't apply here.
If I were to find an ancient artifact I'd want to tell the right people, whoever they may be.
...but 75 years, oh noo, Mr Bill! Pick up that 1930 soda off the side of the road and go directly to jail?

Archaeological stratigraphy Main article: Archaeological stratigraphy[/align] In the field of archaeology, soil stratigraphy is used to better understand the processes that form and protect archaeological sites. The law of superposition holds true, and this can help date finds or features from each context, as they can be placed in sequence and the dates interpolated. Phases of activity can also often be seen through stratigraphy, especially when a trench or feature is viewed in section (profile). As pits and other features can be dug down into earlier levels, not all material at the same absolute depth is necessarily of the same age, but close attention has to be paid to the archeological layers. The Harris-matrix is a tool to depict complex stratigraphic relations, as they are found, for example, in the contexts of urban archaeology. [edit] See also

This really sucks! Let's see now the stuff my dad threw out in the back yard 75 years ago now belongs to the state? F$%# that! Our governor lets in 100,000 illegal aliens to ruin our state now they want to stop us from digging up our history? Do you think the Mexicans give a shat about our history? They( the mayor of Portland) have already started re-naming our streets after Mexicans!
What the State of Oregon should be focused on is ridding our state of Illegal aliens who are destroying the quality of life here with their gangs, drugs and violence not to mention the burden they place on social services with their excessive breeding habits. [/align]


As Dale said "most Oregon diggers are going under ground".... pun intended

The digging will continue... Their is no law saying you can't clean out your privy or remove trash from your land that would be very unhealthy besides ridiculous! [/align]

Land of the free my but! I am glad you all feel the same way I do. They complain about an honest, hardworking person having a hobby so he can enjoy himself and maybe get away from all the crap in the world. Now they want to regulate digging for old trash? Thats what it all is guys, TRASH. Instead of focusing on stopping the real criminals, like robbers, ILLEGAL ALIENS, drug traficers, etc... they spend their time harrassing the honest HARD WORKING MAN. Thats where they can make the most money in fines. They dog the middle class because they rely on the rich for their campaign contributions (corruption), and try to help the poor and ILLEGALS so they can look good while weeding out the middle class. It is the middle class american they gaff. This is the USA of today! LAND OF THE FREE FOR ILLEGALS AND CRIMINALS! HOME OF THE RICH! It is disgusting!
