Seems an odd view for an archaeologist! Assuming you are one.
You are aware that the helmet was not acquired by the BM aren't you? It is now in private hands and unlikely to be seen by the public ever again. What makes you think any other finds from the site (assuming there genuinely were some) would end up in the BM?
