Forgery fallout

Article Abstract:

Archaeologist Eric Meyers, a professor of Judaic studies at Duke University, discusses about the way in which the spate of high-profile forgeries should force archaeologists, museums, and even governments to rethink the way they approach ancient objects that lack archaeological provenance. He believes that big collectors donate objects to museums and get huge tax write-offs that encourage more illegal dealing.
