Heya! I'll be posting a lot of diy stuff, art tutorials, and just guides for life and such.

Hiya! I'm an undergrad archaeology major and I really want to go into the law field surrounding archaeology but I'm having a lot of trouble finding information about it. Any suggestions? Have you had any experience with archaeological law in your studies and field school? Absolutely adore you and your blog and hope you're doing well 💕💕

I haven't studied archaeological law, but I've had several classes that talked about NAGPRA, the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, and you might want to look into that. There's also OSHA, which deals with safety regulations.

Other than that I'm afraid that I don't have a lot of expertise in this area. @midden-maiden works with government doing archaeology so she might be a good person to ask. As always, others are free to chime in!

You might want to check out Anonymous Swiss Collector, also known as Dr. Donna Yates, link below:

https://www.anonymousswisscollector.com

She does a lot of work regarding the illegal trafficking cultural heritage and regularly posts about research opportunities, conferences and workshops.

Also look at your state’s historical preservation office(SHPO), if you are in the states. I’m in Texas so for me it’s the Texas Historical Commission, but the website lists the state and federal laws, statutes regulations and rules regarding archaeology, natural and cultural heritage.

There is also the Tribal Historic Preservation Offices(THPO) and UNESCO Conventions.

There is quite a lot of lawyer-ing in the world of criminal investigations for looted and trafficked cultural heritage material (often if not usually archaeological material). The FBI also has field offices specifically for stolen art (internationally). If these interest you, I highly suggest the books “Chasing Aphrodite: The Hunt for Looted Antiquities at the World's Richest Museum” and “The Medici Conspiracy: The Illicit Journey of Looted Antiquities-- From Italy's Tomb Raiders to the World's Greatest Museums”. Both books look at the illegal antiquities trade, and efforts from law enforcement, archaeologists, and lawyers to stop it.

WebGL Water is a great water simulator, with a sphere that can interact with the water’s surface. It can be paused which means you can then use it as a reference for lighting, reflections, refractions, etc.

i’ve also created guides on essay preparation, the 5-paragraph essay, how to research, and how to write essays. you can find all my other masterposts here.

Today was a rainy day, all overcast skies and wet air. I took a moment for some green tea and journaling between study sessions; the last bit of weekend before classes start up tomorrow. I’m lucky enough to have Monday’s off this term, and I use the time to prepare for the week ahead.
