  Charles Clermont-Ganneau is widely recognized by scholars for his contributions to the archaeology, epigraphy, and historical geography of Israel/Palestine and the broader Middle East. But Clermont-Ganneau was also a major contributor to antiquities trade networks between the Levant and France in the Late Ottoman period. For a period of more than 35 years, he served variously as finder, agent, consultant, buyer, and dealer of ancient artifacts of all types. This article looks at Clermont-Ganneau’s involvement in antiquities trafficking and how it was intertwined with his scholarly career. A close study of his activities suggests that Clermont-Ganneau’s career is a paradigmatic example of academic reliance on the antiquities trade.

  This article takes a look at the career of Moses Shapira, the notorious bookseller, antiquities dealer, and possible forger of 19th-century Jerusalem. Despite Shapira’s fame among scholars, his career is little discussed beyond the episodes of the Deuteronomy strips and, to a much lesser extent, the ‘Moabite pottery.’ By surveying his career as a whole, I will put these episodes into a clearer context, shedding additional light on Shapira’s methods and motivations. In addition, since we have more information by far on Shapira’s career than on that of any other seller of antiquities in Late Ottoman Palestine, understanding his career provides important insights into how the antiquities trade in Palestine operated at the time.
