âFinds got pocketedâ âthe odd brooch went missingâ I donât know David, help me out here. How do you reconcile this with your profession, the ethics and standards that we sign up to? What if you were monitoring any other archaeological site? Would you allow this. Do you worry that your presence is basically legitimising something that goes against everything your day job stands for? You must have thought about this and arrived at the conclusion that it was worth sacrificing some of our standards to build bridges so less is lost in the future; but is it?
