On Saturday, January 5, SAFE/Saving Antiquities for Everyone will
present the 2008 Beacon Awards to Donny George, former Director
General of the Iraq Museums and Chairman of the State Board of
Antiquities and Heritage, to recognize his efforts to protect and
preserve Iraq's precious archaeological heritage; and to Neil Brodie,
for his outstanding efforts as Research Centre at the McDonald
Institute for Archaeological Research (University of Cambridge) to
raise public awareness about the devastating consequences of the
illicit antiquities trade and the looting of ancient sites and
monuments around the world.
A Reception for the Awards ceremony will take place at the
Archaeological Institute of America's (AIA) Annual Meeting at the
Hyatt Regency Hotel in Chicago where SAFE will be an exhibitor. The
evening will begin with a special presentation by Neil Brodie on his
"Personal Perspectives on the Antiquities Trade". Donny George will
lead two SAFE Tours on Sunday, January 6, at the Oriental Institute
Museum.
