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.

该项目研究了法律法规如何塑造记忆和文化遗产。研究专注于管理历史发掘地点以及开挖许可的应用的法律和实践，研究询问州监管和受这些法规管辖的法规如何有助于生产历史记录，纪念馆和物质遗产。 该研究试图以有时意外或矛盾的方式来提高法律如何运作的理解和理论。该项目的更广泛的影响包括对严格的经验和定性实地考验的研究生进行培训。由Veena Das博士监督的学科学生Onder Celik将通过民族志学案例研究，对规范大规模暴力场所进行挖掘的法律研究进行研究。 特别是，该案例研究将重点介绍“寻宝”的法律法规，以寻找土耳其的亚美尼亚珍宝。 人类学研究将使用现场研究技术在土耳其的五个地点进行，包括参与者观察，访谈和文档分析。
