They should do like the governments did when they confiscated tons of poached ivory! In RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION they torched the ivory to keep it of the market.
They should take these beautiful artifacts, crush them to dust, mix with asphalt and use as road fill!
(You know I don’t really mean that!)
:’) It’s interesting though — some relative of Napoleon III (I think it was) got exclusive license to dig a large Etruscan site in Italy. He found thousands and thousands of intact pottery pieces in no time. The market wasn’t there, as he saw it, so he selected a few hundred and had all the rest of it smashed.
