Academic Bias on Antiquities Trade


Annoying report on archeologist Dr Donna Yates the expert aiming to make antiquities-collecting "socially unacceptable" (good luck with that, it's older than archeology).



 Randy Hixenbaugh observes:
Yates, who is teaching law enforcement officials in her courses at the Scottish Centre for Crime and Justice Research has recently admitted that she wants to see the entire legal trade in ancient art simply go away. That seems a major conflict of interest for an academic. Her personal position is at best close-minded and naive, and at worst prejudicial against a perfectly legal and necessary sector of the art market.
