The federal district court decision essentially declared that the ACCG failed to make out a sufficient case." It is worth reading St Hilaire's comments in full.
The ACCG has issued a short press statement (here) with a link to the Opinion.
Discussion of the archaeological ethics surrounding the collecting of antiquities and archaeological material.
