Kurzbeschreibung

The Mediterranean Antiquities Provenance Research Alliance (MAPRA), a new initiative of US-based Foundation for Ethical Stewardship of Cultural Heritage (FESCH), will host an internal wiki edit-a-thon. Our goal is to establish standard vocabularies in support of a new protocol for teaching university students to conduct provenance research on poorly documented objects in academic collections. MAPRA is funded by a generous grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
