This project examines how legal regulation shapes memory and cultural heritage. Focusing on laws and practices governing historical excavation sites and applications for excavation permits, the research asks how state regulation and those governed by those regulations contribute to the production of historical accounts, memorials, and material heritage. The research seeks to advance understanding and theory of how law works in sometimes unexpected or contradictory ways. The broader impacts of this project include the training of a graduate student in rigorous empirical and qualitative fieldwork methods.Doctoral student Onder Celik, supervised by Dr. Veena Das, will conduct this research through an ethnographic case study of laws regulating excavation of sites of mass violence. In particular, the case study will focus on the legal regulation of "treasure hunting" in the search for Armenian treasures in Turkey. The anthropological research will be carried out in five sites in Turkey using field research techniques, including participant observation, interviews, and document analysis.

这个项目探讨了法律的规范如何塑造记忆和文化遗产。该研究侧重于管理历史挖掘地点和挖掘许可证申请的法律和实践，询问国家法规和受这些法规管辖的人如何有助于历史记录，纪念馆和物质遗产的产生。 该研究旨在促进对法律如何以有时意想不到或矛盾的方式运作的理解和理论。该项目的更广泛影响包括对一名研究生进行严格的实证和定性实地考察方法的培训。博士生Onder Celik在Veena Das博士的指导下，将通过对规范挖掘大规模暴力遗址的法律的人种学案例研究进行这项研究。 特别是，案例研究将侧重于对在土耳其寻找亚美尼亚宝藏的“寻宝”活动的法律的管制。 人类学研究将在土耳其的五个地点进行，采用实地研究技术，包括参与观察、访谈和文件分析。
