In Lopez's narrative "The Stone Horse" the part where he discribes all the differet types of vandalism to these archaeological sites really stands out to me. Before I would just think of vandalism of historical sites as being trashed and just stripped of anything valuable. But starting on page 298 paragraph 8 Lopez goes into detail about how these sites were vandalized. Lopez discribes two main types of vandalism in his narrative, the out right distructive kind and the proffesional thieves. The thieves took care to steal everything they could sell but rarly wasted time in destrutive acts where as the others just wanted to break stuff and even used vehicles to ram into these sites.
