Les Carabinieri récupèrent des pièces de fouilles illégales
Archeological superintendent Anna Maria Moretti shows a piece of a broken vase, part of 300 ancient artifacts and thousands of fragments believed to have been illegally excavated in central Italy and recovered by Italian police, during a press conference at the Carabinieri headquarters in Rome, Thursday, March 22, 2007. Tomb raiders often break vases and amphorae so that they can sell single pieces and then ask for a higher price for the missing piece that would complete the artifact. Among the most precious objects was a 29-centimeter (11-inch) Greek vase, seen in background, dating to 600-580 B.C. and featuring black figures. (AP Photo/Alessandra Tarantino)
