The type of material sought and acquired, and from what types of sources, is detailed. ACE has also been incorporated into broader initiatives aimed on counteracting regulatory measures and ethical practices. Neither were the laudable educators involved in ACE nor the group's respectable mission of educating secondary students about classical history the subject of criticism.<br /><br />If Peter had read the article, he would have understood the content of the article and its relevance to the issue of the "Antiquities Market" or "Archaeological Heritage and Ethics." <br /><br />Thank you for your support. I still have some remaining offprints that I can send to interested parties.<br /><br />All best,<br />NathanNathan Elkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13060145336179440359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8972497915033440413.post-25480367923859241972010-02-17T06:27:38.859+00:002010-02-17T06:27:38.859+00:00Peter

Nathan's carefully researched piece, supported by ample references, fits (in my personal opinion) squarely in this section of <i>JFA</i>.<br />Best wishes<br />DavidDavid Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13164794689385933318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8972497915033440413.post-47608092405668713992010-02-16T23:38:12.712+00:002010-02-16T23:38:12.712+00:00David- Reread my posts.

Do you equate "Ancient Coins for Education" and its program to teach children about ancient history through coins as being part of the "Antiquities Market?" I don't and if you do, you are as twisted on this point as Elkins and Barford are.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />Peter TompaCultural Property Observerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05924359202414555962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8972497915033440413.post-6418958588670273132010-02-16T22:20:43.769+00:002010-02-16T22:20:43.769+00:00Thanks for coming to the defense of the Archaeolog...Thanks for coming to the defense of the Archaeological Heritage and Ethics section of the JFA! In 2008 the name of the Antiquities Market section was changed to Archaeological Heritage and Ethics in order to address the variety of ethical and heritage issues confronting field archaeologists. We welcome all submissions on topics that concern the ethical practice of field archaeology. Many thanks, Morag and ChristinaMMK and YMRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15668515466179385868noreply@blogger.com
