The US has returned its first antiquity to #Palestine, a 2,880-year-old ivory spoon believed to have been #looted from an archaeological site in the Palestinian village of Al-Kum. A repatriation ceremony was held in Bethlehem in the West Bank.

Anyone interested in an @artcrime group? Only a few #ArtCrime, #ArtLaw, #HeritageCrime, and #IllicitAntiquities people are here so far, but why not group the group as we group?

In a rare instance (ba dum tiss) of timely insight, I've changed instances to #hcommons before making too many posts! I suppose reintroductions are in order.
I'm a PhD candidate studying the sociology and structure of the #RareBookTrade specifically focusing on #manuscripts , #fragmentology , and #bookbreaking. Here's hoping those tags fill up more! My background is in #materiality and #ManuscriptStudies, and I'm a private librarian by day. Part of #medievodons and #BookHistodons. I mostly post about #HeritageCrime of various forms, plus some photographic experimentation (and cats, of which I have two).
Pleased to meet you all!
