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?

In a documentary on Egypt, there was a segment about Old Kingdom burials on the Giza plateau. The flake in charge said, “we treat them with great respect, because, they’re people”. Which means of course that they’ll be voting for Hillary in November, if not before.
