Institution:

Brown University

Subject:

Description:

Pending Approval. How do people get away with it? Who do we blame for it? How do we punish it? "It" is the archaeologists' worst nightmare -- looting, treasure hunting, and the other bad things that can happen to the archaeological record: a finite and exhaustible resource. This seminar will consider how objects are looted, sold, and collected, and what mechanisms - legal, moral, military - can be used to prevent such destructive activities.
