Ah, that most fun of emails, "Dear Museum, could you please supply me with the provenance of <thing> and <other thing>, ideally back to at least 1973?" Taking all bets* on how hard they ghost me! *Not actually taking any bets; you bet on things that are UNcertain!

Many archaeological journals, most notably the AJA, have begun asking authors to confirm the provenance of any object they discuss in the article and won't normally publish articles featuring unprovenanced objects as a way to try to discourage the antiquities black market.

Thus both my question to >Museum< and my suspicion that they will respond to my question by not responding to my question and pretending I never sent it, no matter how many times I do. Hopefully I'm wrong, but if I'm not, you can rely on me to slag >Museum< by name on twitter.
