Abstract:

Most readers will be aware of past and present issues surrounding the illicit traffic in antiquities. There are already a number of generic books available on the subject. This article reflects on the problem of treasure-hunting in Bulgaria and the inadequacy of Bulgarian legislation, which is leading to the deterioration and destruction of Bulgarian heritage sites. As no changes in the legislative basis can be observed at this stage there is a real threat to the country's cultural inheritance. This paper reflects upon the results of personal research undertaken in Bulgaria as part of a PhD.
