THE ILLICIT TRADE IN ANTIQUITIES 
This website highlights the illicit
trade in antiquities. It focuses on missing statuary from Butrint
and also discusses the problems at Phoenicê, Albania.
The theft of antiquities from archaeological sites is doubly
problematic: it deprives a nation of its heritage and identity
and also prevents us from understanding these objects in their
true historical context.
THE LOOTING OF BUTRINT AND PHOENICÊ 
The Albanian institutional crises
in the 1990s culminated in the looting of many museums and sites.
Two of the sites most affected have been Phoenicê, the
classical capital of Chaonia, and its near neighbour Butrint,
a Roman colonial port.
