Apart from looting, add deep-sea trawling to the list of threats to archaeological sites. Trawling is a horrible industry in any case, destroying ecosystems on the sea floor wherever it happens, but here's a case of trawling destroying a very significant human/inhuman site. This one is also relevant to #blacklivesmatter.
