Overview

Serves as an excellent introduction to the world of cultural heritage trafficking, which will appeal to academics as well as practitioners in the field. Explores the subject through digital platforms, making for a very timely and forward-looking approach. This title is an under-researched area of an under-researched field. The lack of research does not reflect a lack of importance - this is a crucial area - but rather, a lack of expertise. The co-editors are among the experts in this field, and they are able to recruit and support others to contribute to a much-needed volume."" The book primarily features upcoming early-career researchers adopting a range of methodological approaches to the topics and platforms evaluated in the chapters. This will not only increase the scope of what research looks like regarding online trafficking in general, but also enhance the accessibility of this field to students and subject-matter experts alike.
