Case #1
Crawford seeking out help from the public to help fund his excavation is a terrific way to help him meet his needs to succeed his requirements for graduation. Jumpstart is a program online set up to help those in need ask for investors to donate (on their own terms) a sufficient amount to help reach a goal. In this case, twenty four investors helped Crawford reach his goal of $5,000, averaging out about $200 per person, for example.

I also think that shutting down the locations could be bad too. For instance, Robert joined that forum because he was an archeologist that was interested in seeing more sites that he had surpassed to help himself become more educated. If it is a forum where other archaeologist are also contributing to their findings at these sites then it can be used as an educational and publishing forum. It mentioned that it had mini quizzes that people would have to take to prove that they had indeed visited the area, if looters are involved, they are more interested in the objects they find, not necessarily the historical facts. Therefore, in many cases the looters most likely would not pass
