This book is the outcome of a series of lectures and workshops held in Oxford in 2004 which examined the often conflicting interests between museums and the legal antiquities trade. The contributors include archaeologists, a museum curator, an antiquities dealer, collectors, and legislators. It brings together some stimulating and provocative opinions regarding the rationales behind the legislative and ethical codes by which they must abide. The aim is to provoke thought and debate on this topical and sensitive subject area. Large paperback.  134 pages.  New condition.  Cat No 3665
