About: Partage

An Entity of Type: Abstraction100002137, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Partage, from the French word "partager" meaning "to share," was a system put in place to divide up ownership of excavated artifacts during the early part of the 20th century. This system was mostly notably employed in Egypt, Iraq, Cyprus, Syria, Turkey and Afghanistan. On the other hand the practise is often seen as a colonialist concept and after independence from the European and Ottoman empires, these Middle Eastern countries enacted laws that declared artefacts as national cultural heritage and prevented their export thus effectively ending the practise of partage.

  • Als Fundteilung bezeichnet man eine Regelung, nach der die Hälfte archäologischer Fundstücke in das Land gehen, das die Ausgrabung finanziert und organisiert hat, die andere Hälfte bleibt in dem Land, in dem die Ausgrabung stattfand. Im späten 19. Jahrhundert und frühen 20. Jahrhundert wurden vom Ägyptischen Staat Lizenzen für Ausgrabungsmissionen erteilt, die von reichen Finanziers (z. B. James Simon, Lord Carnarvon) wahrgenommen und mit Hilfe von professionellen Grabungsleitern (z. B. Ludwig Borchardt, Howard Carter) durchgeführt wurden. Der Ägyptische Staat bekam die eine Hälfte der ausgegrabenen Artefakte, der Finanzier die zweite Hälfte zur freien Verwendung, was den legalen Export aus Ägypten einschloss. Größtenteils befinden sich Werke aus Fundteilungen heute in europäischen und amerikanischen öffentlichen Sammlungen/Museen. (de)
  • Partage, from the French word "partager" meaning "to share," was a system put in place to divide up ownership of excavated artifacts during the early part of the 20th century. This system was mostly notably employed in Egypt, Iraq, Cyprus, Syria, Turkey and Afghanistan. Under partage, foreign-led excavation teams provided the expertise and material means to lead excavations and in return were allowed to share the finds with the local government's archaeological museums. It was through this system that the collections of archaeological museums at the University of Chicago, the University of Pennsylvania, and Harvard and Yale Universities were built up. Important parts of the collections of the British Museum, the Brooklyn Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art also came through partage. It was also how the collections in archaeological museums in the Middle East were built up. According to James Cuno, "Foreign museums underwrote and led scientific excavations from which both the international archaeological and local political communities benefited." Some scholars believe that the partage system should be reinstated as a way of encouraging exchange and international education while still giving source countries authority over their cultural heritage. On the other hand the practise is often seen as a colonialist concept and after independence from the European and Ottoman empires, these Middle Eastern countries enacted laws that declared artefacts as national cultural heritage and prevented their export thus effectively ending the practise of partage.
