Funky.
It wouldnt matter if it is damaged, it has been very well documented and photgraphed, so it could even disappear and it would make no difference, it has been catalogued so the details are there for everyone to see.
Incidently, archaeology of the near east is a very big part of my research, and the worst offenders for deliberately destroying archaeological data were christian archaeologists. The problem was that most werent qualified archaeologists, they were theologians hwo happened to have the funding, but they went looking for data to support the Bible and eveything else was ignored and dumped. There are also a few claims from people that assisted on digs of christian 'archaeologists' deliberatly destroying negative data or even planting positive data.
People will go to any lengths to make the Bible into something it isnt.
