Guam Marine Corps base construction halted after artifacts discovered

Thank you for making me laugh. I figured they quit because they thought they were going to sink Guam if they dug too deep, LOL CW5 Jack Cardwell

Duh, Auh, I don't know, Marine barracks and housing still being built, roadways are finished, It's all about the Firing Range, Navy wants to claim part of the ocean as a safe zone for the Marine Firing Range. Navy already own 2/3rds. of the island.

To some (Fishermen), they don't want to travel 3 to 5 miles out from the island to do their fishing, but stay closer to shore. As a fisherman, it's safer to be closer to land, and not in the Deep, Blue, Get Lost ocean. I did many SAR sea rescues while in the Harbor Patrol Guam Police Department.

If artifacts were or are found, Federal Law (Antiquities Act of 1906) says all construction has to be stopped, and a research has to be performed with stipulations to the law. Not Guam law, US Federal Law.

General public know this, and it's always used as a tool and vehicle to get what they want with the government, US or Local.

“Now where did I put the stone hammer and other things?” early Guam Islander says as he wonders around looking for what he needs to build his new hut. Well the US military found them centuries late.
