	abstract = {Most countries prohibit the export of certain antiquities. This practice often leads to
illegal excavation and looting for the black market, which damages the items and
destroys important aspects of the archaeological record. We argue that long-term leases
of antiquities would raise revenue for the country of origin while preserving national
long-term ownership rights. By putting antiquities into the hands of the highest value
consumer in each period, allowing leases would generate incentives for the protection of
objects.},
