I just assumed that he still held the position because of the recent dates of the articles I had read. Anyway, my concerns relate to Miller's suggestion that Greek archaeological sites should be privatised. So nothing that Kim Shelton would be able to answer.Iris den Boerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12448095664918117017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4069130222095487768.post-70296937685911182962013-11-11T22:50:19.705+00:002013-11-11T22:50:19.705+00:00Very interesting post and comment!
I do sympathise...Very interesting post and comment!<br />I do sympathise with Iris' concerns - even if not applied to this context in particular. But first of all, I would be concerned about the values that would govern these private archaeological sites and museums. How would they decide what to be preserved, for example? And who would regulate their actions? Somehow these thoughts seem scarier than the 'burger king billboard'!

It is currently run by a professor that I used to work for, Dr. Kim Shelton. If you have concerns, I'm sure she would be very willing to answer them, as she also runs excavations at another very large Greek site, Mycenae, in addition to the Nemean excavations. She is also very involved in local participation in the restoration of the Temple of Zeus at Nemea. The following is the website for the Nemea Center, if anyone is interested: http://nemeacenter.berkeley.edu/nemea-center/about-nemea-center-uc-berkeleySarah Giffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08883657281966154720noreply@blogger.com
