Last month I raised a question about Michael Bennett's claim (in 2008) that he had a long-standing link with the Aboutaams.
The Cleveland Museum of Art does not appear to publish full collecting histories for its objects either on the web or via its print catalogues. Will CMA now issue a list of all the objects that have been acquired from Phoenix Ancient Art along with their complete collecting histories?
This will demonstrate two things: rigorous due diligence and transparency.
Discussion of the archaeological ethics surrounding the collecting of antiquities and archaeological material.
