Abstract
After defining what is considered looting and illicit trafficking of archaeological heritage, this entry develops the cause-effect link between looting and illicit trafficking, reviews the current international regulations on the subject, and presents the state of the art of research on the major issues, as well as on the most important gaps that should be filled either by more research or by a change of approach.
