Pathways to Inclusive Digital Archaeological Archives
This article addresses the historical and ongoing exclusion of descendant and local communities, particularly in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), from digital archaeological archives. We contend that current digitization practices often perpetuate colonial-era biases through limited, monolingual metadata that fail to reflect or engage with local histories and knowledge systems. Noting the insufficiency of current FAIR (Findable, Accessibl…
Beyond the Rubble
The increasing destruction of cultural heritage in conflict zones has exposed the shortcomings of current crisis response frameworks. Traditional, state-led mechanisms have struggled to address the complexities and rapid developments of modern warfare, leading to the emergence of more flexible, decentralized approaches. In this context, civil society organizations (CSOs) have emerged as key actors, stepping in to address the shortcomings of natio…
Preserving Palmyra’s Heritage through a Community-Led Initiative
Palmyra, renowned for its historical significance and cultural richness, fell victim to the ravages of conflict, leaving its architectural wonders in ruins and its community displaced. This article explores the transformative potential of community-led reconstruction in safeguarding Palmyra’s heritage. By intertwining tangible restoration with the revitalization of intangible traditions, this holistic approach seeks to empower the Palmyrene commu…
Some New Evidence Documenting the Involvement of Da’esh in Syria with the Illicit Trade in Antiquities
We present here some new evidence documenting the involvement of Da’esh with the looting and illicit trade of antiquities in northeastern Syria. We have interviewed four people who have first-hand knowledge of its activities and acquired some images of looted objects and Da’esh administrative documents. We examine this new evidence in the context of previously reported accounts of Da’esh involvement with the antiquities trade. We also report loot…
Why There is Still an Illicit Trade in Cultural Objects and What We Can Do About It
Fifty years after the adoption of the 1970 UNESCO Convention, the illicit trade in cultural objects endures, with harmful consequences to local communities, knowledge acquisition, and archaeological landscapes and objects. In this article, we present a gap analysis to assess under-performing policy and practice. We argue that a poor understanding of how the trade is organized and operates and of how it might be regulated hinders effective policy …
The Illegal Excavation and Trade of Syrian Cultural Objects
The illegal excavation and trade of cultural objects from Syrian archaeological sites worsened markedly after the outbreak of civil disturbance and conflict in 2011. Since then, the damage to archaeological heritage has been well documented, and the issue of terrorist funding explored, but hardly any research has been conducted into the organization and operation of theft and trafficking of cultural objects inside Syria. As a first step in that d…
