Twenty-two contributors from the fields of archaeology, law, museum administration, art history, and philosophy explore the legal, ethical, and intellectual issues relating to excavating, selling, collecting, and owning cultural artifacts. Case studies from the Americas and Nepal are included, as are discussions of the UNESCO Cultural Property Convention, regulations on international art trade, the ramifications of national sovereignty issues, and the transformation of museum institutional ethics.
