This is true. It is the bane of archaeologists everywhere. (I subscribe to _Archaeology_ magazine, and every issue is filled with stories of demands made to museums to return stolen artifacts, and occasionally there is a story of artifacts being returned.) It is also true, however, that there have been occasions in history when the removal of art and artifacts has been necessary for their preservation. Sadly, not all of those pieces have found their way back home, and that's a shame. =============================================== Meredith Tarr New Haven, CT USA mailto:meth@smoe.org http://www.smoe.org/meth =============================================== hear at the HOMe House Concert Series http://hom.smoe.org =============================================== ========================================================= This has been a message to the chakram-refugees list.
