The British Museum's 8 page "Report on Meeting at Babylon 11th - 13th
December 2004", is available on-line at:
http://www.thebritishmuseum.ac.uk/newsroom/current2005/Babylon_Report04.doc
 ,  signed by J.E. Curtis, Keeper, Department of the Ancient Near East.

It makes frequent reference to another written report described as:
"... a long (more than 500 pages) document entitled _Report
Concerning the Condition of the Preservation of the Babylon
Archaeological Site_. As the title suggests, this document is
essentially a condition report, and it contains many photographs that
provide an invaluable record of the state of the site in November
2004...", prepared by three archaeologists attached to the Polish
forces (Miroslav Olbrys, Agnieszka Dolatowska and Tomasz Burda) .

Paragraph 6 of the introduction states:

"After discussion during the course of the meeting, it was agreed  that
3 reports focusing on the archaeological site of Babylon should  be made
available at or soon after the time of the handover:-
(i) The Polish Report referred to in 4) above.
(ii) A report by the Iraqi side detailing all instances of damage to
the archaeological site since its occupation by coalition forces.
(iii) My report referred to in 5) above."
