Abstract
Looting, and the resulting illicit trade in antiquities, is big business. This paper develops a framework for a simple, effective survey approach which, when adapted regionally via the use of specialized question formats ('overlays'), can be used to monitor global looting. More important, the resulting data establish a benchmark and encourage discussion of broad-ranging legal and educational reforms.
