FfFfFfFF 58,371 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Italy has recovered hundreds of illegally gathered archeological finds from a Belgian collector dating as far back as the sixth century BC and worth €11m (£9.4m), police have said. The nearly 800 pieces “of exceptional rarity and inestimable value”, including stelae, amphorae and other items, came from clandestine excavations in Puglia in Italy’s south-eastern tip, according to the carabinieri in charge of cultural heritage. “During the course of the search, a veritable ’archaeological treasure’ was recovered, consisting of hundreds of Apulian figurative ceramic finds and other Daunian stelae.” Besides stelae, the collection includes vases painted with red figures, amphorae, black glazed ceramics, and numerous terracotta figurines. The pieces date back to between the sixth and third centuries BC. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jun/21/italy-recovers-nearly-800-illegally-gathered-archaeological-finds Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
