Apologies for the TT gaff myself ...
I suppose it shows how easy it is to be offended when people talk about PPG 16 all the time.. when in reality that only covers England and Wales.. .. point taken though ... and well made
Leading people on to make sense of it all... as you have now done... is a 'good thing' :face-approve:
The basics are as said... and to reiterate
Non reporting of treasure items is a criminal offence (in Scotland too -but that covers everything!) Archaeologists don't often find treasure, cos we ain't looking for it... PAS are a liaison organisation for the public.
I am interested to know however, if the PAS database should not include those items reported by Archaeologists, as this surely leaves a whopping gap...
Shovelnomore, you hopefully feel better now
B) and actually, put succinctly the whole answer -
Sadly you are right about "Archaeologists, publish? I'll not mention any major English historic urban centres." but in the main... they do edge out into the light (well.. soon will, with a new BAJRish scheme!) and also I tend to agree... can't be @rsed is not a good excuse... indeed to allow it to go is abetting - we would not alow it of a detectroist or member of the public.. so should not of a fellow archaeologist.
will examine
"I don't have an archaeological imagination.."
