Abstract
This paper questions site destruction by bottle collectors, metal detector enthusiasts, and others. In South Carolina archaeological looting and site vandalism is a real and constant problem. Too often professional archaeologists choose to ignore the looting, rather than to confront the problems of bottle collectors, metal detectors, and pothunters.
