The one I'd heard reports of are also written cuneiform tablets, form Iraq over the last few years although still incoplete. I'll have to see if I can find the link.
There was a big business in making archeological fakes during Saddam.
Graduate students were sometimes pressured to make fakes, oxidize them and bury them in the ground for discovery and sale to other countries.
A lot of Western archeologiest were drawn into collaborative arrangements with Iraqi officials in charge of antiquities.
Find the link. There is a lot of funky stuff when it comes to Iraqi archeological finds. It got very criminalized.
