A 30,000-YEAR-OLD archeological site was damaged by illegal mining in central China's Henan Province. Local villagers said they had reported it to local authorities but no action was taken because the miners hinted they had official connections, today's China National Radio reported.
The Liuduiyu Paleolithic site in Bo'ai County shows human activies dating back for 30,000 years and was listed by the province as a heritage site for protection in 2008. It is applying for state-level protection, villagers told the state radio.
People later found iron ore in the mountain and illegal mining ensued. A truck of iron ore, about 50 tons, could sell for 15,000 yuan (US$2,215), the villagers said.
Local government raided the area in May and June and confiscated some mining equipment, but illegal mining continued soon after.
