Scholars unite to rescue Iraq's treasures
Irene Winter, the William Dorr Boardman Professor of Fine Arts, is among those at Harvard working to help rescue Iraq's looted antiquities. Winter, an authority on the art and architecture of ancient Mesopotamia, has been working with archaeological organizations, museum officials, UNESCO, Interpol, the FBI, and various government agencies in an effort to compile an accurate inventory of the objects that have been stolen or destroyed and to institute policies that will facilitate the return of looted artifacts and the protection of vulnerable archaeological sites.
