UN vandals spray graffiti on prehistoric art - BAJR Host - 3rd February 2008 Maggie from Past Horizons - pulled this story .. see http://pasthorizons.wordpress.com/2008/01/31/un-vandals-spray-graffiti-on-sahara%e2%80%99s-prehistoric-art/ Spectacular prehistoric depictions of animal and human figures created up to 6,000 years ago on Western Saharan rocks have been vandalised by United Nations peacekeepers. Archaeological sites boasting ancient paintings and engravings of giraffes, buffalo and elephants have been defaced within the past two years by personnel attached to the UN mission, known by its French acronym, Minurso. Graffiti, some of it more than a metre high and sprayed with paint meant for use for marking routes, now blights the rock art at Lajuad, an isolated site known as Devil Mountain, which is regarded by the local Sahrawi population as a mystical place of great cultural significance........ This does bring to a wider discussion about what is and is not acceptable in archaeology/heritage... when does grafitti become vandalism and when is it social comment? This will be one of the first articles in a new magazine... (coming at the end of Feb!) grafitti? thoughts??? "No job worth doing was ever done on time or under budget.." Khufu
