@Facebook continues to block the Cultural Heritage Lawyer blog at https://t.co/KNiBtv0Vsh because, it says, "the content doesn't meet our Community Standards." I'm thrilled #Facebook now has unblocked @ARCA_artcrime's blog! You can highlight the problem by RT'ing this post.

@ademirhan @pherdrich Thanks, Amed!

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. https://t.co/6Wh444wo00

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? https://t.co/xFBwx1XtuL

The first AC webinar was fascinating, covering the ethical obligations of archaeologists to report looting, and this should be too. Sign up below. @CLIRnews @ARCENational @archaeology_aia @Art_Curators @ALIPHFoundation

[Antiquities Coalition @CombatLooting]

The challenges faced in #Yemen are daunting. There is the threat of renewed conflict, floods that burst the sewers, and a rain so significant that offices and collections are threatened. On top of the first Covid cases in the country. Glad to hear you are ready to help, #ALIPH!

[ALIPH Foundation @ALIPHFoundation]

Solidarity with our friends and partners in #Yemen, following massive flooding last week. #ALIPH is ready to help.
