Bones
of the Ancestors: The Ambum Stone. From the New Guinea Highlands to
the Antiquities Market to Australia
By Brian Egloff
Year: 2008
ISBN: 0-7591-1159-6 / 978-0-7591-1159-2
The 3,000-year-old Ambum Stone, from Papua New Guinea, is the focus
of several archaeological stories. The stone itself is an interesting
artifact, an important piece of art history that tells us something
about the ancient Papuans. The stone is also at the center of controversies
over the provenance and ownership of ancient artifacts, as it was
excavated on the island of New Guinea, transferred out of the country,
and sold on the antiquities market. In telling the story of the Ambum
Stone, Brian Egloff raises questions about what can be learned from
ancient works of art, about cultural property and the ownership of
the past, about the complex and at times shadowy world of art dealers
and collectors, and about the role ancient artifacts can play in forming
the identities of modern peoples. |
