Abstract
Ever since ISIS, Daesh, Taliban and other terrorist organizations have been systematically destroying archaeological sites, questions of the size, scale and value of the loss has been discussed in the popular media and academic press. This chapter examines different ways to consider archaeological cultural heritage and in particular this loss. Archaeological cultural heritage is examined along a private to public continuum of property. Then, we argue that given contested definitions, a human rights conception is useful.
