Loot, legitimacy and ownership:

the ethical crisis in archaeology
Couverture
2 Avis
Duckworth, 2000 - 160 pages
Colin Renfrew illustrates how the most precious product of archaeology is the information that excavations can illuminate about out shared human past. Yet the illicit digging of archaeological sites for gain - i.e. looting - is destroying the context in which archaeological findings can be understood, as well as sabotaging the most valued information. Today's art market is rife with the antiquities pilfered by these archaeological looters.
