CORTEZ MAN SENTENCED TO PRISON FOR LOOTING SITE
A Cortez man has been sentenced to federal prison for damaging an ancestral Puebloan site in the Canyons of the Ancients National Monument.
Shadrick Winbourn, 57, was sentenced to 12 months and one day for violating the Archeological Resources Protection Act, according to a news release from the U.S. attorney’s office in Colorado.
Winbourn made several trips into a section of the Canyons of the Ancients National Monument, near Cortez, in May and June 2017, where he located an ancestral Puebloan ceremonial site with a large dance plaza, a likely subterranean kiva, and multiple human burials.
He was arrested June 4, 2017, on an unrelated warrant, and a Bureau of
Land Management ranger found pottery shards in Winbourn’s pockets and additional artifacts in a backpack.
In all, investigators found 64 items from the protected site in his possession, including jewelry, an axe head, and other tools, the release said. Archaeologists have restored the site and curated the stolen objects.
