Looting Matters will be live on BBC Radio Wales "Jamie and Louise" tomorrow morning (Wednesday) at 11 am.
What should we discuss? The impact of the photographic archives on the market? Recent returns? Looting in the UK? What about the situation in Wales? Universal museums?
We are inviting questions through Louise's Twitter feed @LouiseTalks
Listen in live (or later on the BBC iPlayer) and join in the debate.
Discussion of the archaeological ethics surrounding the collecting of antiquities and archaeological material.
