Finders Keepers: A Tale of Archaeological Plunder and Obsession by Craig Childs

3.0

The book brought up questions I hadn't thought about. To whom does, or should, ancient relics belong? When jewelry, pots, and other items are found in an ancient grave, should they be left alone because they had spiritual significance to the people who put them there? (And still have spiritual signifcance to the descendents?) Or, should they be removed and shared? And, shared where? A museum (most likely a museum warehouse) or in a private collector's collection? Was Indiana Jones a hero or a villian? This is a fairly short book and was worth the read.
