Definitions for "Looting"
To take as spoils; steal.
This problem is (so far) greater for land archaeology than for underwater archaeology. Every day, poor people in poor countries steal artefacts and ruin archaeological sites. Such objects have lost their precious context and provenance. They are smuggled to richer countries, like Sweden, where I live, and are sold. Sometimes stolen objects end up in museums. It is difficult to stop this, but doing nothing at all would be the worst alternative. Whenever you see a nice object in a museum, or in a private home, why not ask where they got it from. Too often, archaeologists find a site only after it's been looted. A recent example is the Sadana shipwreck. See also Treasure hunting.
To steal, or illegally take, artifacts from an archaeological site; the act of which destroys the evidence archaeologists need to learn from the site.
plundering during riots or in wartime
Looting (which derives via the Hindi lut from Sanskrit lunt, to rob), sacking, plundering, or pillaging is the indiscriminate taking of goods by force as part of a military or political victory, or during a catastrophe or riot, such as during war http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/2941733.stm, natural disaster http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/262848.stm, or rioting http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/1722584.stm. The term is also used in a broader (some would argue metaphorical) sense, to eggregious instances of theft and embezzlement, such as the "plundering" of private or public assets by corrupt or overly greedy corporate executives or government authorities. The proceeds of all these activities can be described as loot, plunder, or pillage.
