Figure 3. Geographic distribution of incidents of antiquities looting and armed conflict in Egypt 1997–
2014.
Additionally, 30% of armed conflict incidents occurred in cities and towns with archaeological
sites that also had reports of looting incidents. Table 3 shows the cities that experienced both armed
conflict incidents and antiquities looting, as well as the number of armed conflict incidents each
reported. It is not possible to say for certain that the conflict incidents occurred within the
archaeological sites; however, the immediate vicinity of archaeological sites to armed conflict
incidents in the sample may make them more likely to be a target for looters, especially those who
are organizers or actors in the conflict.
