This blog is intended to cover side issues emerging from the discussions of artefact collecting (including metal detecting) on my "Portable Antiquities and Heritage Issues" blog. This allows answering misleading points which may require it without sidetracking of other discussions onto unrelated topics, thus freeing the main blog for more serious stuff.
About Me
- Paul Barford
- British archaeologist living and working in Warsaw, Poland. Since the early 1990s (or even longer) a primary interest has been research on artefact hunting and collecting and the market in portable antiquities in the international context and their effect on the archaeological record.
Barford > better known to us under a variety of pseudonyms, many of them unprintable.<
So is the person who so criticises artefact hunters not simply giving as good as he gets from the detectorists who, unable on the whole to engage with articulate argument , only resort to crude tribal attitudes, insults and ad personams. A good example is the post here, where senior detectorist John Winter is looking forward to thousands of hits when I link to his moaning blog.
Hit away at the tekkie...
