Another Milestone in Negligence
About seven o'clock this morning, Polish time, my Revised Artefact Erosion Counter ticked past the ten-million-items-pocketed mark and headed off towards its eleven millionth... What are the chances that by that time, British heritage professionals will have woken up to the fact that the "responsive and responsible artefact hunters" trope trotted out as an excuse for not doing anything are a myth, mirage or lie? That depends to what degree they are doing their job properly and looking at the evidence. That's what archaeologists do isn't it?
