Shock horror illiterate archaeologist often finds Maev Kennedy reports on archaeology a bit dim. I try reading her articles thinking that they were badly edited but quiet often come away with the impression that she is a curator type who has never undertaken any significant fieldwork (we know who you are). Is it really journalistic licence but then she does seem to report on a vast range of subjects at quite a rate? (bit of a Maev sentence there but then who am I to criticise).
Some statements which I kinda understand what shes getting at I still find a bit bizarre
I want a Rough ground burial. the rougher the better. I want ground that says rough forever you know what I mean realy rough. Dam the clues that the helmet came to be buried in rough land may have been destroyed in the process. No more rough clues left. I feel so rough.
pdurdin there is big law and little law. This seems to be acceptable

Quote:[SIZE=3]He reported the finds to the Portable Antiquities Scheme at the British Museum, a voluntary scheme encouraging metal detectors to report all archaeological finds, but has now exercised his right to send it straight to auction.whats the butt all about -and would have done[/SIZE]
Quote:[SIZE=3]He has found small pieces, including a few Roman coins, on a Cumbrian farm which is near a Roman road but miles from the nearest recorded Roman site.-a roman road is a site isnt it?[/SIZE]
Quote:[SIZE=3]The Portable Antiquities Scheme played an essential role in working with the finder to discover exactly where the helmet was found, he said.biszxaar essential to what[/SIZE]

Quote:[SIZE=3]The helmet was found in more than 30 pieces, but has been restored and cleaned for sale by Christie's. Archaeologists fear clues on how it came to be buried in rough land may have been destroyed in the processit was found in pieces presumably there might be almost an iffinate amount of pices out there that might relate to its compleatness but at least we know that is main uniquness is Rough ground.
