Its been awhile,so here's wishing everyone well! I am still brainstorming new ideas and directions for this blog in among the continued deluge of post-doctoral research and writing obligations, plus the added bonus of having family and future in-laws in town (tour guiding around DC...feeling like a local now). Life is good, or but oh so hectic.
Therefore,this is just a rapid/fast place holder post to announce the excellent panel on illicit antiquities trade issues place together by Dr. Donna Yates for next year's Society for American Archaeology conference. San Francisco!! I am really looking forward to participating; working once again with my friend and mentor Prof. Duncan Chappell to present an update of the ongoing research into the online trade in human remains that we began with this paper and continued discussing here. Several new cases occupy advance to light, and more undoubtedly will before April, and thus providing new angles to explore,legal scenarios to examine, and further our ability to discus how better to achieve transparency. There promises to be plenty of pictures for sure.
The panel itself will be very hard hitting; covering diverse regions, or numerous tall-profile cases,grounded in comparative theory, and cutting-edge in focus. whether you will be attending the conference (or will be in the San Fran area and want to crash the world's preeminent gathering of archaeologists), and then advance on by. More details of exact day,time, and place to advance.
