Changes were also afoot with the Community Gallery adjoining Passports. In 2010, the first exhibit that was not defined in ethnic terms opened. The Mixing Room: Stories from Young Refugees in New Zealand features ‘stories of growing up in New Zealand by young people who have come here as refugees’. In the absence of any objects, curators
Giuseppe Fiorelli had written in an official report on the service he directed: the foreigners themselves, who contend with us for possession of our objects, need an official seal that only the Government authority can give, which is fundamental to assess the scientific value of those objects (Fiorelli, 1885).2 Accordingly, Fiorelli continues, foreign museums could increase the value of their collections only by buying objects which had been studied in Italy. In this way already well documented archaeological finds would not be exported abroad as ‘refugees’, but as
Spaniards who would ultimately be transferred to Alderney were recruited from the Argèles refugee camp in southern France with the promise of well-paid work in the occupied zone and support for their families who remained in Spain. 25 They were then transferred to Brest where they undertook labour for the Germans and were housed in two camps in Saint-Pierre-Quilbignon. 26 Luc has shown that at least thirty-one Spaniards arrived in Alderney from Brest via Cherbourg on 22 February 1942. 27 Most of these men appear

well as smaller goods consumption. Smyth argues for a redistribution of the population in the later Middle Ages and early years of the early modern period, describing people moving from dispersed settlement to nucleated settlement around a tower house as ‘refugees’ (1985: 126). Presumably, the comparative security of the tower house was an attractive prospect and would explain the continuation of nucleated settlement after the demographic collapse of the Black Death, if the people previously living in dispersed patterns migrated.
