Colonial Intrigues and My Dismissal as Director of Antiquities

Nicholas Stanley-Price spent ten years as an archaeologist in Cyprus and the Middle East before concentrating on international heritage conservation, employed by the Getty Conservation Institute in California and by the intergovernmental body ICCROM in Rome as its Director-General. He has promoted the conservation and management of archaeological sites, as founding editor of the journal of that name, now published by Taylor & Francis, and by launching a new M.A. at the UCL Institute of Archaeology. He has published extensively on conservation principles, site conservation and antiquities management.
