UHI Archaeology Seminar Series A networked seminar to take place on Friday the 7th of February from 1pm – 2pm Understanding the international trade in trafficked cultural objects Dr Suzie Thomas, University of Glasgow Across the world, cultural objects, often removed illegally and without record from archaeological sites, are smuggled, trafficked and eventually sold on the international market. This introduces objects into the antiquities trade which have arrived via criminal means, but it also causes irreversible damage to archaeological sites and monuments, deprives countries and communities of important pieces of their cultural heritage, and makes it easier for fakes and forgeries to permeate the market. Researchers at the University of Glasgow, are working to gather empirical evidence for the global trafficking of looted cultural objects (see www.traffickingculture.org). The team, based in a Criminology centre, includes archaeologists, criminologists and legal specialists, in an innovative and interdisciplinary approach to the problem. In this seminar, I will provide an overview of the project and some recent highlights. http://traffickingculture.org/data/metiokhos-parthenope-mosaic-zeugma-turkey/ Seminar locations - NHC - Thurso – T1.06 (NHCS4), Alness Interview room (NHCS9), Dornoch Tain room (NHCS10), Inverness (G19A Longman Campus), Fort William (F31, Studio 8), Shetland College (C8), Lews Castle College (Studio 1), Orkney College (conference room), Moray college (C009), Perth (Studio 8 -Room 617 in Goodlyburn Campus) The Jabber code is 79826 If you are in a learning centre please contact your centre manager to arrange a room.
