The U.S. Attorney's Office and investigators with the Bureau of Land Management returned an ancient clay jar to its rightful owners Wednesday after it had been stolen from a New Mexico archaeological site. Dignitaries of Acoma Pueblo accepted the jar, called an olla, during a ceremony. The jar was made sometime between 900 and 1100 A.D. Archeologists believe it may have originally served as a vessel for food left for travelers along the Zuni-Acoma trail in western New Mexico. Reported by KOB.com
