Mackenzie, S. and P. Green (eds) Criminology and Archeology. Studies in Looted Antiquities (Portland, Onati International Series in Law and Society, 2009). A collection of eight articles, including Lobay on the effectiveness of the US-Italian MOU, and Bland on the current situation in the UK.
Thomas, S. and P.G. Stone (eds) Metal Detecting and Archeology (Woodbridge, 2009). The publication of the papers from a conference in Newcastle in 2005. The seventeen papers trace the relationship between UK Metal Detectorists and Archeologists since the implementation of the Portable Antiquities Scheme. The clear conclusion is that the two groups are natural allies and, by cooperating, they can accomplish goals impossible independently. The discussion of battlefield archeology is particularly instructive.
