Some resources on Iraq's cultural heritage
For those interested, here are two very good sites on the state of Iraq's cultural heritage (e.g., archaeology, artifacts, books).
Mesopotamian archaeologist Francis Deblauwe' page.
The Iraq page of the Oriental Institute at the University of Chicago.
The Warka (Uruk) vase, reported returned earlier this week, is missing large chunks from its base and, importantly, from the upper register near the rim. A picture of what was returned can be found here.
