The women in question clearly isn't a real archaeologist. She removed the tesserae through tile & error.

I always have wondered where they draw the line between archaeology and grave robbing.

If you believe that the religion of the person whose grave you're robbing is barbarous and archaic, just apply for a grant and grab the shovel.
