  DESTRUCTION 
  OF 
  SOURCES 
  OF 
  INFORMATION 
  

  

  Many 
  of 
  the 
  most 
  valuable 
  sources 
  for 
  archeological 
  research 
  have 
  

   been 
  forever 
  lost 
  to 
  the 
  State 
  and 
  to 
  the 
  scientific 
  world 
  in 
  general. 
  

   Mounds 
  and 
  earthworks 
  have 
  been 
  destroyed 
  and 
  leveled 
  through 
  

   the 
  necessities 
  of 
  a 
  commercial 
  civilization 
  that 
  has 
  taken 
  little 
  heed 
  

   of 
  things 
  archeologic. 
  Railroads 
  and 
  canals 
  have 
  cut 
  through 
  

   ancient 
  sites 
  and 
  have 
  thrown 
  the 
  priceless 
  relics 
  of 
  aboriginal 
  art 
  

   in 
  with 
  the 
  common 
  dirt 
  to 
  be 
  used 
  for 
  roadbeds 
  or 
  for 
  grading; 
  

   farmers, 
  not 
  realizing 
  their 
  vandalism, 
  have 
  scooped 
  down 
  earth 
  

   walls 
  and 
  mounds 
  to 
  level 
  their 
  land 
  for 
  agriculture 
  ; 
  manufactories, 
  

   towns 
  and 
  cities 
  have 
  been 
  built 
  over 
  the 
  site 
  of 
  Indian 
  villages 
  and 
  

   burials, 
  and 
  not 
  less 
  lamentable 
  has 
  been 
  the 
  work 
  of 
  ignorant 
  col-
