I've been working on my paper for the artefacts course. One of the really cool things is that since I'm working on Apulian Red-Figure Vases and about 95% of the extant pieces don't come from a properly excavated site, I get to talk about looting! And the Antiquities Market. Anyway I was reading a cool article, and when I got to the bottom they had a little Bio of the author. Doesn't she sound cool? What a wicked job.

About the author
Laurence Massy is an art historian and criminologist at the Université Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium
and a doctoral student at the Université de Liège. Her thesis is on the theft of works of art. She is
also a detective in the Art Crime Unit, Police Fédérale de Bruxelles, Belgium. The views expressed
in this paper are those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of the federal Belgian
police. She teaches “Art crime” to museum scholars at the Université de Liège and at the Ecole de
Recherche de la Police Fédérale (DES-DSER). Her research concerns the potential links between
those who steal works of art, receivers and other forms of organised crime, and national and
international legislation on art crime.
