SAFE announces Beacon Awards recipient

Congratulations to Jason Felch and Ralph Frammolino, authors of Chasing Aphrodite, who have received the SAFE Beacon Award for 2011, and to David Gill, professor at Swansea University and blogger at Looting Matters, who received the award for 2012! Every year, Saving Antiquities For Everyone honors someone who has made a significant contribution to educating people about and fighting against the illicit antiquities trade. I wholeheartedly agree with SAFE's choices for this year and next; Chasing Aphrodite is critical for you to read if you're the least bit interested in these issues, and David Gill's blog is one of my go-to sources for commentary and news on the trade. Congratulations to all three of you!
