Since at least one soon-to-be-Brexited FLO over in PAS-land is deeply interested in the debate in Austria over Collection-Driven Exploitation of the Archaeological Record and got the hump with me when I tried to explain that it's not by any means as simple an issue as she was trying to present it, I thought I'd revisit some old posts on precisely this topic which she'll presumably be unfamiliar with. When she's read them, perhaps she would be so good as to tell me where I was wrong here. Unless she wants to join Raimund Karl in the academically-dubious tactic of saying that anything which does not fit the one-sided picture they wish to paint 'can reasonably safely be ignored'.
