'Indiana Joan', 95, is accused of looting $1MILLION in ancient artefacts from Egypt and the ME
Daily Mail ^ | 25 November 2017 | Brooke Rolfe

...Ms Howard, otherwise known as 'Indiana Joan', volunteered on archeological digs for around 11 years with British and American archaeologists in Syria, Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, Palestine and Israel from around 1967...

Her collection includes neolithic axe heads more than 40,000 years old, pottery and weapons from the Phoenicians and the Romans, coins and seals and jewellery from the time of the pharaohs, and a precious funerary mask from Egypt.

She said a favourite was a Roman dagger she found buried with the skeletal remains of its owner.

Another was the wrappings of a mummy's remains and a cat claw wound within it, indicating the deceased was buried with their pet.

While notably proud of her selection, she has come under fire from prominent archaeologist Monica Hanna who believes it is illegal for Ms Howard to have possession of the items.

Ms Hanna, who works closely with the Egyptian government, has called for all of the treasures to be returned to their rightful homelands.

I did field work in Florida.

Any field work IMHO is a privilege.

And living in Florida for a summer was great too.

She is keeping the items from getting stolen, or from being destroyed my Moslem savages.
And what the Brits have is theirs. Heck, Lord Elgin bought those marbles from the Parthenon. If scumbags of the ME want the back, they need to conquer the UK and take it.
Oh, wait...
