Professor Casana talked with BBC Radio about archeology and looting in Syria, and his work with villagers who are now internally displaced, living in a camp on the border with Turkey. The interview is an episode in a BBC series called The Museum of Lost Objects.

"It is quite evident that overall incidents of looting are much higher in Kurdish and opposition-held areas than in either Syrian regime or ISIL areas," says Assoc. Professor of Anthropology Jesse Casana in a National Geographic story about the destruction of Syria's ancient sites....

Using satellite imagery, Prof. Jesse Casana uncovered surprising evidence relating to looting of artifacts in Syria - on both sides of the conflict.

The Faculty of the Department of Anthropology is pleased to announce the appointments of Jesse Casana, Assoc. Professor; Jeremy DeSilva, Assoc. Professor; Sabrina Billings, Senior Lecturer; and Jennifer Carballo, Visiting Professor from Harvard University.
