Why is it important?

It is very important that we are able to identify and track cultural heritage artifacts for a number of reasons: • To preserve our cultural heritage for posterity • To help law enforcement agencies and customs authorities combat the illicit trade of cultural heritage artifacts • To facilitate the various organizations and professionals - archeologists, museum professionals, art dealers, insurance companies, collectors, etc. - to uniquely identify, track and value cultural heritage artifacts.
