The University of Leiden announced that artifacts its researchers unearthed during the past 25 years at the Syrian site of Tell Sabi Abyad may have been stolen from storage depots in the provincial capital of Raqqa by armed men. The artifacts include 6,000-year-old pottery and art objects, and animal and human remains—much of it unstudied.The excavator Peter Akkermans told the NL Times that he was unable to check the extent of the damage because due to all the violence the area is too dangerous to enter, and he has not had any contact with the Syrian guard of their depots since December and is unable to say what state the site itself is in.
