Some of the artifacts contained inscriptions in the ancient Aramaic language, it said.

Syrian Aramaic is the language spoken by Jesus and the Apostles. It is also the liturgical language of the Maronite, Syro-Malankar and Chaldean Catholic Churches. Though the liturgy is now in the local vernacular, the words of consecration are still chanted in that ancient language. It is as close as one can come to being at the Last Supper.

It always amuses me when an archeologist makes a breathless announcement that a ancient cemetery has been found.

Duh! If there weren’t ancient cemeteries, we’d have a huge stack of moldering bones somewhere in every country.

Is there any standard at all within the profession that details where grave robbing ends and academic tomb inspections begin?

The fact that it had to be unearthed probably means that it had been destroyed/covered up.

Many many pre Islamic places have been destroyed/sold and of course much Christian humanity have been decimated in the regions where Muslims conquered.
