Currently looking at the finds from Sutton Hoo, and I’m surprised how much stuff survived the looting. Also glad the looters somehow missed getting into the centre of Mound 1.

and I know a lot of working class archaeologists too. In a way archaeology has had less barriers because in a lot of jobs only a masters was needed rather than a PhD.

I had thought in the show that they were involved with university archaeologists who would come in if they found something beyond toy cars and 5p in the till layer, but I could also be misremembering since it's been a while. My focus was monumental so I didn't do small finds.

I don’t really recall since it has also been awhile. But IRL metal detectorists just dig stuff up and disturb sites anyway, so even if the fictional ones don’t it still sort of legitimizes it. I know people who use the show as justification.
