`
`American Anthropological Association, Archaeological Institute of America, and Society
`
`for American Archaeology (“Archaeological Intervenors”) file this reply in support of their
`
`Objection to Order Denying Motions to Intervene Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. Pro. 72, ECF No. 148.
`
`Archaeological Intervenors adopt by reference the arguments contained in Sections I, III,
`
`and V in GSEP Intervenors’ Reply in Support of Objection to Magistrate Judge’s Order, 173.
`
`Moreover, Archaeological Intervenors have distinct interests that no existing party or movant
`
`adequately represents. Archaeological Intervenors, for example, have professional interests in
`
`ensuring that archaeological best practices guide the interpretation and application of the
`
`Antiquities Act—a law Archaeological Intervenors were instrumental in enacting. Archaeological
`
`Intervenors also have financial interests in maintaining research grants tied to the status of the land
`
`as national monuments. These unique interests are described more fully in Archaeological
`
`Intervenors’ Motion to Intervene,1 Reply to Garfield County Plaintiffs’ and Federal Defendants’
`
`Briefs in Opposition to Intervention,2 and Objection to Order Denying Motions to Intervene.3
`
`Archaeological Intervenors respectfully request that the Court reject, in part, the Order
`
`denying intervention to Archaeological Intervenors and grant them intervention as of right, or in
`
`the alternative, permissive intervention.
