Finalement décentrer le regard historique et archéologique des élites pour le porter sur les vestiges matériels de l'écrasante majorité de la population, c'est aussi minimiser le risque de vol. L'évolution historiographique et l'archéologie préventive, meilleurs armes contre le vol organisé 🙃.

In the space of a year, the Turkish government, via the TMSF, has confiscated more than 400 businesses, including recently around 100 linked to Can Holding. The aim? To finance the AKP's patronage networks in anticipation of the next presidential elections. www.ft.com/content/5c13...

Neeeeeeed!!!!!!

I’d heard so much praise for this book and finally found time to read it. It’s a fascinating read that pushes us to reconsider the Eurocentric nature of Marxist accounts of production that often erase the history of medieval slavery.
