Archaeology For Fun and Profit! - Tuesday, First Period
Well, Aphra and Isabela looked slightly more prepared than last week, with the Danger Shop having them on the steps of a very prestigious looking museum.
"It's time for a very important talk about archaeology and ethics!" Where you feeling okay, Chelli? "Because there are some doozies. Like repatriations."
"Which is what happens when the people whose stuff you took would like it back." Thank you for condensing down that extremely complicated and thorny issue for the class, Isabela.
"Now, some places will recognise that it can be kind of dodgy to try and keep valuable cultural artefacts that were obtained under less than ethical means, and will give 'em back." Very few of them in Aphra's experience. "Others no so much, which is where we come in."
"Which means it's time for a heist!"
"For the greater good and all that."
