Welcome to Litsy!

Childs explores here the antiquities world, including the questions of who antiquities belong to and how they are best handled. There‘s a lot of food for thought here, but I don‘t think he goes far enough in analyzing his own motivations or, conversely, separating himself enough from each situation. A low pick for me.

I‘m having slightly mixed feelings about this one. I‘m at 25%. I‘ll bail around halfway if it doesn‘t even out. {Parts are great... parts are circulatory and boring.}

So far I'm really enjoying this book. As an archaeologist I tend to think of looters as horrible people but this book is showing me different perspectives. Who owns culture? This and other archaeological questions are discussed in this book. I'm intrigued to read his conclusions.
