Art Issues: Whose Grave Is This Anyway? Cultural and economic factors may affect whether or not one views the work of Howard Carter and other anthropologists as "grave robbing." The past actions, motives, and intentions of anthropologists and archaeologists working on Native American burial sites are much more contentious. Repatriation of bones and burial artifacts to native cultures and their lands is a very important issue to many tribal activists. To find out why, check out the website below:
Repatriation and Burial Issues (http://www.uiowa.edu/~anthro/reburial/repat.htm) This site highlights the ethical challenges and concerns of anthropological treatment of the dead. Links at the site highlight Native American-related issues primarily; African issues are also discussed.

Art People: Perikles A master student as well as military and civic leader, Pericles continues to be admired for his support of the arts. It's hard to imagine a political leader today making arts and architecture priorities in the manner of Pericles. The Perseus Project website is an indispensable tool for anyone interested in Pericles or ancient culture in general. At this site, you can see how leaders and thinkers of his time fit into history, and you can find biographies, timelines and historic texts:
