| Summary: | All over the world archaeological sites are being looted to feed an ever-expanding antiquities market. The phenomenon has been well-documented, by journalists and TV documentaries as much by academic study, but its true scale remains something for conjecture. With this in mind, in October 1999 the McDonald Institute convened an international symposium of archaeologists and other interested parties, which allowed them to give accounts of looting in their own countries, share their experiences and to consider possible remedies or preventative measures.
