Although understudied in the past, archaeological looting is now closely monitored constantly prompting new research. This chapter outlines a new methodological approach to the study of looting through the analysis of open-access satellite imagery and the statistical processing of the results obtained. Building on three regional case studies in Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan, the chapter proposes a typology of looting and summarizes its main trends. The multiscale and multitemporal approaches highlighted in this chapter also enable intra-site case studies to be considered in a new light, as shown through an analysis of looting at Tell Senkereh-Larsa, a site located in southern Mesopotamia devastated by illegal excavations. This chapter demonstrates that by using archaeological methodologies and analysing looting pits, as if they were archaeological objects or structures themselves, allows for a more nuanced and detailed analysis of looting practices. Borrowing from spatial analysis, morpho-typologies and statistical analysis methods, it contributes to a greater understanding of the movements and targets of looters and how they operate from a social science perspective.
