Abstract
On 15 December 2007, IRAC intervened in the meeting of the Theoretical Archaeology Group at The Kings Manor, University of York. One hundred-fifty replica Cycladic figurines were placed in the building and its grounds. In the days that followed, some figurines were moved, some destroyed, some stolen, some collected, and some disappeared completely. Few were recorded and documented.
