AFGHANISTAN-FRANCE-CHINA-ARCHEOLOGY
TO GO WITH AFP STORY "Afghanistan-France-China-archeology, FEATURE" by Claire Cozens
In this photograph taken May 11, 2010, Philippe Marquis, director of a French government-funded archaeologists team operating in Afghanistan, points at a map during an interview with AFP at his office in Kabul. Working in war-torn Afghanistan, you might expect Marquis'' biggest headache to be security. In fact, he says, his main worry is how to protect the vast wealth of cultural treasures under Afghan soil from being stolen and smuggled to wealthier countries, or worse, destroyed altogether. Afghanistan''s position on the ancient silk road that linked east with west has left the country with a rich cultural heritage. AFP PHOTO/Massoud HOSSAINI
