A blog commenting on various aspects of the private collecting and trade in archaeological artefacts today and their effect on the archaeological record.
"This does not appear to be a real debate between individuals with different views to me. Perhaps, Mr. Barford really is debating tea and biscuits because they won't talk back...." Moron
Sam, it will not be streamed online as it was not recorded, but a version taking into account colleagures' comments will probably be coming out in print some time soon.
British archaeologist living and working in Warsaw, Poland. Since the early 1990s (or even longer) a primary interest has been research on artefact hunting and collecting and the market in portable antiquities in the international context and their effect on the archaeological record.
"coiney" - a term I use for private collector of dug up ancient coins, particularly a member of the Moneta-L forum or the ACCG
"heap-of-artefacts-on-a-table-collecting" the term rather speaks for itself, an accumulation of loose artefacts with no attempt to link each item with documented origins. Most often used to refer to metal detectorists (ice-cream tubs-full) and ancient coin collectors (Roman coins sold in aggregated bulk lots)
"tekkie" - metal detectorist/metal detecting (a form of artefact hunting)

I thought a debate assumes at least two individuals defending their views. This does not sound like that at all.

You really can't take a joke can you.
It looked like more of your curmudgeonly and uninformed lobbyist sniping. So I am supposed to go "Ha ha"? Oh, ha ha.
