in Norway any archaeological remains predating 1538 are automatically protected...no ambiguity....until the national curatorial body gives permission for it to be touched
whats the basis of this protection? Is there a concept of ownership, who owns it?
I can see now that I have been describing these things using terms that belong to nationalists who have monopolised the term archaeologist, no doubt to protect the archaeological heritage as a source of the European collective memory and as an instrument for historical and scientific study which justifies everything doesn’t it.
From here on pottery sherd becomes metamorphosed aluminium silicate clast. At last freedom, the weight is lifted from my shoulders. hello carbonised organic remain, my old friend.
