A blog commenting on various aspects of the private collecting and trade in archaeological artefacts today and their effect on the archaeological record.
About Me
- Paul Barford
- 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.

False "Barford" Blogs, Not Actually by Paul Barford
Abbreviations used in this blog
- "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)
- ACCG - Ancient Coin Collectors' (sic) Guild
- CBA - Council for British Archaeology [UK]
- CCPIA (CPIA) - (Convention on) Cultural Property Implementation Act [US legislation]
- CDE - Collection-Driven Exploitation of archaeological sites
