If only I could believe they were the only ones.

I wonder if they caught them with anything in possession on them?

They really should somehow protect the site from further entry.

Sad thing is, even if whatever was stolen is recovered...because the stratigraphy (probably) wasn’t recorded, much of the useful information that could be derived from it is lost forever. (I say “probably” because I understand some antiquities thieves are getting good at recording that information now.)

The excerpt says that there have been others over the years but the remote location has kept the authorities from protecting the site.
