@caitlinrgreen I recorded these ITV broadcasts as they were so interesting. Indeed still have them and can refer to them whenever I need to.
@CrombieJIM Oh, nice idea! Was wonderful to see some of the amazing PAS finds get publicity :)
@caitlinrgreen A unique Fort William Buckle Plate find shown has led 2 a Stirlingshire officers example & Kinross-shire example being found
@caitlinrgreen All three were worn by Scottish volunteers during the Napoleonic Wars (1803-1815).So the ITV broadcasts did a lot of good.
@CrombieJIM Excellent, that's really good to know! :)
@caitlinrgreen All I hear is beavis and butthead laughing. How odd wonder what the knife was for
@T3_Stephen I quite like the idea floated in the post of it being associated with a theatre performance, poss a religious rite of some sort?
@caitlinrgreen Yeah or something sold to soldiers in garrisons still happens today
@T3_Stephen Yes, that might be an explanation too! Interesting that comparable items *very* rare+confined to Britain: http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/163020 …
@caitlinrgreen wow thanks for the further info
@caitlinrgreen This "severed head" hypothesis makes no sense. Looks far more like a stylized phallus to me, which fits the erotic theme more
@mjd1735 The smaller male's genitals are moulded below the head, though--and http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/163020 … indicates head has eyes and hairline
