Art returned, how Cambodian art is being repatriated

This compelling news story highlights the efforts to repatriate priceless Khmer antiquities looted during times of conflict and instability. Dr. Stark discussed the importance of returning these artifacts, emphasizing their cultural significance and the need to rebuild Cambodia’s historic preservation systems.

Dr. Stark’s Contributions

With over 25 years of experience working in Cambodia, Dr. Stark has led projects aimed at empowering Cambodian archaeologists and providing early career researchers with vital training. These efforts are a step toward enabling local experts to preserve their heritage independently.
