illicit antiquities trading in economic crisis, organised crime and political violence
I am a cultural property criminologist. I have researched war crimes, organised crime, online trafficking and other aspects of cultural property crime, such as intersections with drugs trafficking, corruption, police criminality and political violence, particularly in eastern Europe and the eastern Mediterranean, especially in Ukraine and Turkey. I blog my research on Conflict Antiquities.
[I will try to write about this properly sometime, but Suzan Mazur investigated who sold the Guennol Stargazer. She found issues with the style, the patina and other matters. Those issues raised the question of Anatolian Stargazer fakes and a potential connection with Aydin Dikmen.]
