It was rather about the effects that the fact that he went onto a known site and then called in the archaeologists to clear up the mess he'd created on their budgeting. Professional archaeology costs money - and where does that money come from? The site was unthreatened, and the professional intervention gobbled up funds which were then unavailable for another project. Maybe you could read what I wrote before disagreeing with it, that way you'll look less like a moron. <br /><br />This is a blog, not a 'site'. Sites are what artefact hunters destroy - and you do not need any 'qualifications' to understand that simple fact. <br /><br />As you can see I did not delete your "comment". I leave it up to the reader however to discern whose view here is the more "narrow".<br /><br />Actually if you look, it's the metal detecting forums where anyone who says something gets a flurry of one-liner comments underneath (replete with 'happy' emoticons) underneath all saying, 'yeah Baz I agre wiv yer M8' and other such group-building banter. Here most of the comments tend to be people like yourself who decide to write to say how much they disagree. I generally publish them for entertainment value. would say the paucity of such comments on a blog with over one and half million hits should give artefact collectors pause for thought.<br />Paul Barfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10443302899233809948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8174756573570334952.post-88910269252616217722016-12-03T15:05:50.322-08:002016-12-03T15:05:50.322-08:00Paul you are dead wrong.

The FLO Ros came on site, and professional archeologists were brought in. They excavated it professionally, and the items, site details have been preserved. The grave turned out to be quite significant historically. I do not see any professional qualifications on your site. Clearly, you delete any replies that do not agree with your narrow viewpoint. Noting the lack of comments clearly nobody agrees with you.<br /><br />Marko<br />Markohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00914747407643897739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8174756573570334952.post-30927573541667262232016-12-03T15:05:30.123-08:002016-12-03T15:05:30.123-08:00Paul you are dead wrong.
