ALBUQUERQUE,
N.M.
(AP)

- 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.

Acoma Pueblo Gov. Chandler Sanchez called it a special day, saying an important part of the tribe and his ancestry is going home.

An Acoma conservation officer caught two men with the pot south of Grants in April 2006.

Dino Harrison and John Darby, identified only as New Mexico residents, were charged with violating the Archaeological Resource Protection Act.

Harrison is serving five years' probation and Darby is awaiting trial.
