This article, begun on 9 March 2006, remains very much so a work in progress. I have no illusions that it is complete or properly written (e.g. NPOV), and no intentions of leaving it as is. Please feel free to edit my work or add to it, but please keep in mind that I intend to work on it further within the next few days and to expand and improve it greatly. Thank you.

Also, as this is an ongoing problem, easily one of the worst places for archaeological looting in the world, I am leaving the current event tag on it. I have not heard anything about the Iraqi government, American military, or other organizations making significant steps to curb the activity, and as far as I am aware, pieces continued to be looted at an extraordinary rate. If anyone knows differently, please simply provide a reference source, and add the information to the article itself, describing how and when the looting problem was reduced or ended.
