In any event, isn't it then worse logic to suggest that looters and collectors are identical?Cultural Property Observerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05924359202414555962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8174756573570334952.post-39752384555756080332013-01-18T07:35:16.607-08:002013-01-18T07:35:16.607-08:00I suppose the issue is whether the same archaeolog...I suppose the issue is whether the same archaeologists that do this or that (like use JSTOR without proper authorisation, or drive red Ford Fiestas) are the same ones that you allege "call others criminals".

That is technically criminal isn't it? Perhaps, archaeologists should be looking in the mirror before calling others criminals....Cultural Property Observerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05924359202414555962noreply@blogger.com
