Though the UK recently began to repeal EU 2019/880 (which regulates the import of cultural goods) in Great Britain, it may be "unprepared" to prevent its regions—especially Northern Ireland—from becoming a gateway for looted objects, per @UKBlueShield: ukblueshield.org.uk/eu-illic…

There are so many fascinating things to see while searching the @dlmenetwork. This stereoview comes from the American Univ in Cairo's collections and shows the step pyramid of Djoser in Saqqara in 1896. What do you find compelling? #DLME. bit.ly/2Ciqk5H

Today’s @dlmenetwork find - beautiful gold necklace with nefer signs from the time period of Tuthmosis III. One translation of “nefer” is “beautiful on the inside and the outside.” What’s your favorite #DLME find? ow.ly/hlAk50AAiZL

One startling observation from @VCUWilderSchool's Prof Balestrieri's survey research, 24% of field archaeologists do not report site looting. Important policy recommendations in her conclusion as well. Full disclosure - I helped with the editing.
