At Jordan site, drone offers glimpse of antiquities looting

In this photo taken Thursday, March 19, 2015, Chad Hill, an archaeologist at the University of Connecticut, operates a drone to survey looting at a 5,000-year-old cemetery known as Fifa in southern Jordan. Hill, an archaeologist at the University of Connecticut who built the drone, piloted it over a part of the graveyard that hadn't been mapped yet. The drone, built by Hill takes photographs that show in great detail how looting has altered the landscape. (AP Photo/Sam McNeil) FIFA, Jordan (AP) — At a sprawling Bronze Age cemetery in southern Jordan, archaeologists have developed a unique way of peering into the murky world of antiquities looting: With aerial photographs taken by a homemade drone, researchers are mapping exactly where — and roughly when — these ancient tombs were robbed.
