Reports like this from The Telegraph — warning that cultural racketeering is financing violent extremists and other armed forces across the Sahel — illustrate the continuing importance of MOUs like those from Heritage at State telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/03/0…

Great appreciation to Mellon Foundation.

Our Founding Organization, @Combatlooting, has a policy brief out today on the ethical obligation to report site looting, from VCU Wilder School's Blythe Ballestrieri.

Today's themes are Language and Literature, Art and Artifacts, and Conservation and Site Management.

The challenges faced in #Yemen are daunting. There is the threat of renewed conflict, floods that burst the sewers, and a rain so significant that offices and collections are threatened. On top of the first Covid cases in the country. Glad to hear you are ready to help, #ALIPH!

The first AC webinar was fascinating, covering the ethical obligations of archaeologists to report looting, and this should be too. Sign up below. CLIR American Research Center in Egypt AIA AAMC Foundation - Art Curators ALIPH Foundation

There are so many fascinating things to see while searching the DLME. This stereoview comes from the American Univ in Cairo's collections and shows the step pyramid of Djoser in Saqqara in 1896. What do you find compelling? #DLME. bit.ly/2Ciqk5H
