Who do you report to if you suspect someone is selling stolen archaeological artifacts?

Answer 1

You can report it to the local police in the jurisdiction where the sales are taking place. If the sales are state to state or international, you can contact the FBI (who, in reality, will probably take the case more seriously). You can get the FBI's local office contact info online or in your local phone book. * Stolen or protected artifacts/antiquities are handle by the federal government. Local authorities have no jurisdiction in such matters with the exception of an act of burglary or theft from a private or public institution. Items that have been taken illegally from a country outside the U.S. and are being sold within U.S. borders, should be reported to the United States State Department, http://www.state.gov. Items that have been illegally procured inside the U.S. (such as Native American artifacts) should be reported to the U.S. Department of Interior, http://www.doi.gov
