Questionable artifacts removed from museum exhibit


Artifacts that may have come from burial sites were removed from an exhibit at the Heard Museum in Arizona.

The items, from the collection of Dennis and Janis Lyon, included jewelry and pots dating back several hundred years. The museum was told the pots may have been funerary objects taken from ancestors of the Tohono O'odham Nation.

The exhibit was briefly closed while 59 items were removed.
