• Resumen

  • We appreciate Michael Fradley and Nichole Sheldrick's response to our 2016 Antiquity paper. They claim that our results are �potentially misleading�, that there is an incorrect �emphasis on looting as the most significant problem facing Egypt's heritage� and that our prediction model is flawed. Our paper, however, clearly focuses on the major population centre of Egypt�the Nile Valley and Delta regions�where the bulk of the archaeological sites are located. This is a basic Egyptological fact.
