The looting of antiquities happens routinely and many countries
have rich deposits of cultural material. The list of source
countries is long, but the most high profile cases of looting have
been in Egypt, Italy, Peru, Mexico, Greece, Turkey, and China.
Antiquities are highly collectable, and there are several prominent
international centers for trade - most notably London, New York,
Paris, Brussels, Hong Kong, Geneva, and Bangkok - but the market
operates across national borders. It is within the complex
international and local regulatory context that the essays
presented here emerge, focusing upon three areas in particular: the
demand for looted antiquities, the supply of cultural artifacts
which originate in source countries, and regulation of the
international market in antiquities. Criminology has long been
interested in transnational crime and its regulation, while
archaeology has been interested in the pedagogical consequences of
antiquities looting. In these essays, both disciplines present new
data and analysis to forge a more coherent understanding of the
nature and failings of the regulatory framework currently in place
to combat the criminal market in antiquities. The book examines the
state of regulation in the antiquities market, with a particular
focus on the UK's position, but also with reference to the
international context more generally. It is an invaluable guide
which gives advice on combating the trade in illicit antiquities
and will be of interest to criminologists, policy makers, and
regulators. (Series: Onati International Series in Law and Society)
