An archaeologist walks at ancient dwellings which were revealed after Haditha Lake shrank in Iraq's western Anbar province April 5, 2009. Drought and dams have vastly shrunk the lake in Iraq's western Anbar province, revealing ancient dwellings and burial sites that archaeologists fear will now be targeted by thieves.
