Vandals have damaged the 800-year-old Native American dwellings in Jordan Cave in Arizona.
The cave is estimated to be about 800 years old and was once a dwelling for Native Americans, who still consider the site a scared place. The area is not open to the public, but was disturbed when rocks in the dwelling were tossed over a nearby embankment.
“Damaging the resource of any kind is illegal and, depending on the extent of the crime, something could be punishable up to $20,000, possible jail time and restitution,” said Brienne Magee, public information office with the Coconino National Forest.
