Read from May 19 to 24, 2011

An excellent overview of the antiquities market and how museums, particularly the Getty in LA were complicit in the looting of sites. The writing is excellent and this reads like a soap opera. I do wish Felch had gone deeper into why it is so important for these artworks, which are also major pieces of evidence regarding history, to be properly excavated.
