Reply ↓ DrDonnaYates February 19, 2015 at 00:55 @Ravages @twilightfairy I agree, this is what I mean by reporting. Experts legally and professionally decide if it needs to be in museum 1/2
Reply ↓ DrDonnaYates February 19, 2015 at 00:57 @Ravages @twilightfairy because reality is there is not museum storage space for every artefact esp common ones. So those registered 2/3

Reply ↓ DrDonnaYates February 19, 2015 at 01:03 @Ravages @twilightfairy Aha! This is by my undergrad prof. Can’t see the pdf on my phone but I suspect it will say http://t.co/18dpd2zvbY
Reply ↓ Ravages February 19, 2015 at 01:08 @DrDonnaYates @twilightfairy Yup. The government owns everything that is found, and it has to be reported to the Department of Archaeology.
Reply ↓ DrDonnaYates February 19, 2015 at 01:11 @Ravages @twilightfairy As suspected. Does he mention official caretaking like Greece, Italy, Ecuador etc do?
Reply ↓ Ravages February 19, 2015 at 01:14 @DrDonnaYates @twilightfairy The Dept. of Archaeology functions that way, I get from the pdf. It enforces/executes policies for conservation
