C. Brian Rose (Penn): Who Owns Antiquity? Museums, Repatriation, and Armed Conflict" (Video)

The last ten years, in particular, have been dominated by discussions of cultural property--either its destruction in zones of military conflict or its involvement in litigation and claims for repatriation. The lecture reviewed recent developments in the art and antiquities market, the shifting acquisition policies in museums, and cultural heritage training programs for U.S. soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.  

Dr. Brian Rose is James B. Pritchard Professor of Archaeology at the University of Pennsylvania and Deputy Director of the University's Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology.  He has been excavating at Troy since 1988, where he has been Head of Post-Bronze Age Excavations at the site for nearly two decades, and is also co-director of the Gordion Excavations in central Turkey.  He excavated at Aphrodisias for five years, and his survey project in the Granicus River Valley focused on recording and mapping the Greco-Persian tombs that dominate the area.  

This lecture is now available as a video podcast through Stanford YouTube and Stanford iTunes.
