The 3,000-year-old Ambum Stone, from Papua New Guinea, is the focus
of several archaeological stories. The stone itself is an
interesting artifact, an important piece of art history that tells
us something about the ancient Papuans. The stone is also at the
center of controversies over the provenance and ownership of
ancient artifacts, as it was excavated on the island of New Guinea,
transferred out of the country, and sold on the antiquities market.
In telling the story of the Ambum Stone, Brian Egloff raises
questions about what can be learned from ancient works of art,
about cultural property and the ownership of the past, about the
complex and at times shadowy world of art dealers and collectors,
and about the role ancient artifacts can play in forming the
identities of modern peoples.
