“Archaeology, Museums, and War”
The last fifteen years, in particular, have been dominated by discussions of cultural property–either its destruction in zones of military conflict or its involvement in litigation and claims for repatriation. This lecture reviews recent developments in the art and antiquities market, the shifting acquisition policies in museums, and cultural heritage training programs for U.S. soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.
