A blog commenting on various aspects of the private collecting and trade in archaeological artefacts today and their effect on the archaeological record.
It looks like the US blog owner missed this comment posted a while ago. Pretty typical of artefact hunters not to have a decent answer to questions like these:
Tell me, your current administration is
busy building a wall and passing executive orders to keep immigrants
out of your country. What makes you think you have the right to walk
into another country like that and just walk off with bits of its
history?
Are ALL of the finds which Chicago Ron’s pals have taken throughout
the years responsibly recorded on Britain’s Portable Antiquities Scheme
database? Can we have the number of Stan Fleck’s brooch please? Who pays
for the records of the finds now in Florida to be made? These finds all
jumbled up in a single ‘zip top bag’, I guess – since you do not say –
do they have individual findspot details accompanying each of them for
the PAS records?
