Project summary
This project has created Circulating Artefacts (CircArt); an online platform which brings together a range of organisations and individuals to counteract the looting and trafficking of antiquities from Egypt and Sudan.
The team has documented and researched objects in circulation on the market and has enabled the recovery of artefacts looted from dozens of sites across Egypt and Sudan.
