It appears that the public and professional outcry against National Geographic Channel’s show “Diggers” (which I reviewed a few months ago) has paid off. Fred Limp, President of the Society for American Archaeology, has posted a letter on the SAA website describing a new direction for the show. NatGeo has agreed to revise the show to remove most of the egregious for-profit looting! Read Limp’s full letter here (PDF).
Unfortunately, still no word on SpikeTV’s even more offensive “American Digger.”
