The Canyons of the Ancients National Monument in Colorado has suffered another vandalism attack although no archaeological sites appear to have been damaged.

Previously, the Bureau of Land Management has reported pot hunting, unauthorized fires, graffiti, illegal digging and other abuses. The latest attack involved man-made signs.

The monument, created during the Clinton administration, contains dozens of ancestral Puebloan sites, remains and buildings.
