Who Owns the Past?
Discuss the following for the essay. It is supposed to be a thought piece rather than a research paper. It should be three pages long. The idea is to get you to think critically as well as creatively about archaeology and related questions/problems in todays world. No sources are required (there should be no works cited page in the essay), but research will be required (paraphrase generously – this essay should be strictly a think piece).
Discuss the question of repatriation of objects from museums to their country of origin. Should items like the Elgin Marbles or the Rosetta Stone in the British Museum be sent back to Greece and Egypt, respectively? Can you think of any situation where such objects should not be sent back? Explain and defend your position for at least two such famous objects currently in museums.
