Bead Collecting and Looting



Some beads sold online possibly come from heirloom strands bought from locals willing to part with them (why?) that contain reused older beads. But where would one go looking for ancient beads? Wandering the bare hectares to find scattered losses that were not retrieved in the past as a lover tugged at his paramour's clothing behind some long-vanished bushes, or would you scoop them up in a looted cemetery where people were interred in their costume and ornament?
Just another day with #looters selling ancient beads on #Facebook this is so rampant its impossible to #report and most activities happen in non-English social media sites.
What kind of activities are supported by bead collecting?
