Archaeological Frauds and Fakes

Many ancient fakes have been uncovered over the years, from the Shroud of Turin, Jesus’s alleged burial cloth, to the Piltdown Man, the “missing link” between apes and humans. Dr. Allen, a retired archaeologist, will answer such questions as: Is acquiring money the only motive for faking? How long has the practice been going on? Can faking fool the experts? How are fakes spotted? What happens if a museum discovers one in its collection? A series of cases — some not widely known — will be covered.
