Two interesting articles tied to the context of archaeological sites have hit press from Europe.
First, Iran has gotten their case reinstated against a British antiquities collector over eighteen items claimed to have been looted from Iran. Unfortunately, they face a somewhat difficult task in proving their actual provenance, necessary to win the case.
Aardvarchaeology has a follow up article to Bob Lind’s “work” on creating an archaeological site by exposing various rocks. Apparently it has damaged an actual archaeological site, which has been assessed by contract archaeologists.
