Many problematic factors complicate the matter of "ownership" for the
collection of Schliemann's artifacts.  Scandalous gathering of the objects
and unethical transmission of the collection aside, I would like to
consider a solution presented by D.F. Eaton in Antiquity Magazine
suggesting an internationally sanctioned site in "Troy"(Turkey) for
permanent keeping of the objects.  Do any cooperative museums like this
exist nationally or internationally?  Would the
German/Russian/Greek/Turkisk representatives be able to cooperate?
This is a nice "let's put history behind us" attitude, but is it possible?
