The subject is a difficult and contentious one: the ownership status of the excavated papyri from Karanis acquired by U-M between 1924 and 1935. Professor Haug will be discussing the relationship between U-M and the Egyptian Antiquities Service during and after the excavation years and the ways in which our possession of excavated papyri was affected by nationalist unrest in Egypt.
