@greg_jenner @MZiegler3 Indeed! How much data was really lost here? In some cases, as at Swallow, the loss of context is worrying, but here?
@caitlinrgreen @MZiegler3 archaeology is so often destruction; we preserve in record but we don't put things back as they were
@greg_jenner @MZiegler3 Indeed, and we can be too precious sometimes, I fear. Important not to destroy without thought, but...!
@caitlinrgreen @MZiegler3 I made a documentary in Bulgaria where tomb looting by the Mafia is a huge problem. We're lucky here
@greg_jenner @MZiegler3 Oh, really? I didn't know that. Reminds me of conversation having earlier about looting of important Syrian sites :(
@caitlinrgreen @MZiegler3 yeah lots of Thracian gold being kicked from tumulus tombs
@greg_jenner @MZiegler3 Yes, just been reading about some of the destruction... really doesn't sound good :-/
@caitlinrgreen @MZiegler3 no, it's forcing archaeologists to do speed excavations - smash and grab
@greg_jenner @MZiegler3 No room for the 'Sutton Hoo approach' there :( [large parts of SH unexcavated, to do in future w/ better techniques)
