The BBC is reporting that
the British public needs to cough up another £200k to keep its common heritage (the scandalously-excavated Lenborough Anglo Saxon coin hoard) from falling into the hands of the artefact hunters who dug it up on a known earthwork site under pasture. I am not sure why this needs to be kept together, sell it off make the dealers happy - and start the long-overdue debate about what happened here which the PAS so much do not want to be involved in...
Vignette: Apparently, the PAS idea of
adequate archaeological kit.
