It's definitely a piece of the puzzle that needs to be put into place.

We have masses of material from dealers and collectors from America and the UK (too much) and very similar sounding material from European collectors. But how does the situation look in the English-speaking world in the southern hemisphere? How big is that market in fact? When it comes to artefacts from the 'classical' civilizations of Europe and the Mediterranean world, by what routes are dealers and collectors down there getting it? How many collectors and dealers in such stuff are there, and where are they? <br /><br />I think this would be a good way to link what you are doing even more with, and inform, the work of your colleagues in Europe and North America. <br /><br />But all of the other things you suggest would be welcome too. <br /><br />Paul<br /> Paul Barfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10443302899233809948noreply@blogger.com
