N2  - Part I of this Note discusses the history of the industry surrounding looted antiquities.  This  Part  traces  the  process  in  which  the  looted antiquity  enters  the  legitimate  art  market.  Next,  this  Part  analyzes  how the art industry in the United States contributes to the illicit funding of ISIS, explaining the roles that art dealers, collectors, and museums play in  this  process.  Lastly,  this  Part  introduces  the  relevant  legal  doctrines that set the stage for the thriving industry of looted antiquities, including the  UNESCO  1970  Convention,  the  HEAR  Act,  and relevant  common law. In PartII of this Note, there is a discussion of antiquity provenance and  the  inadequacies  of  the  widely-adopted  systems  implemented  for tracing antiquity provenance. Part III of this Note introduces the modern developments   of   the   blockchain   tracing   system,   discussing   how blockchain  functions  as  a  digitized  and  decentralized  tracing  system with  a  specific  focus  on  blockchain  for  art  title  registry.  This  Note concludes,  in   Part IV,   by   explaining   how   the   blockchain   for   art provenance  has  the  potential  to  serve  as  a tool  for  both  preventing transfers  of  looted  antiquities  and  prosecuting  such  illicit  transfers.  In turn,  the  adoption  of  the  blockchain  for antiquity provenance  proposal will  serve  as  a  means  of  achieving  the  larger  initiative  of  decreasing funding for terrorist groups.
