Deathwatch for Iraqi Antiquities
Deathwatch for Iraqi Antiquities
This chapter focuses on the evaluation and monitoring of the conditions of the archaeological sites and antiquities in Iraq after the 2003 invasion. The military shared no images with the archaeological community. As a result, there is no way to track the ongoing decimation of tells across the country over the years since the 2003 invasion. The chapter describes the work of archaeologist Elizabeth Stone, which has provided a partial view of what has occurred since the invasion, and also mentions that the National Museum remained under siege as of 2007.
