The United States has returned to Lebanon several artifacts from lead coffins dating back to the Roman era. These items were stolen during illegal excavation operations in the southern city of Tyre and subsequently smuggled out. The pieces were handed over to the Lebanese consulate in New York and are expected to be repatriated to Lebanon through joint efforts between the two countries. Investigations indicate that the artifacts, which date from the second to third centuries BC, were part of workshops manufacturing lead coffins in Tyre and were found in auction catalogs of antique artworks. This action reflects the strong cooperation between the United States and Lebanon in combating the illicit trafficking of cultural property.
