Collectors vs. Archaeologists

The stance radical archaeologists have taken indicates that they do not want
collectors to have access to any material excavated by archaeologists.
Instead, they want it all kept as "public property" by institutions. One
leading radical archaeologist has even gone so far as to advocate
prohibiting the sale of any artifact that has presumably been excavated,
regardless of provenance.

It has been alleged that arguments advanced by radical archaeologists
against continuation of the present free collecting environment are nothing
more than a smoke screen cleverly put up to disguise their true motive,
which is to secure exclusive control of access to all "archaeological source
material" including such common artifacts as ancient coins.
Moneta-L listreaders should be under no illusions as to the true intentions
of these radical archaeologists. If they get their way, it will eventually
become impossible to continue private collecting of ancient coins. Paul
Barford comes to Moneta-L not to explore the truth as a bona fide
participant in our discussions, but as your enemy - a relentless critic of
ancient coin collecting who intends to prevent you from continuing this
time-honored and socially beneficial activity. His true objective in
participating in discussions on Moneta-L is to manipulate them so as to
advance that destructive goal.

The measures Paul Barford advocates would make it impossible for you to
lawfully acquire any ancient artifact that does not have provenance
traceable to its find spot, with proof of licit export from its state of
origin or to its presence in a collection prior to 1970. Very few ancient
coins have such a provenance. No one had ever thought it would be important
to document provenance of such common objects, before radical archaeologists
began lecturing collectors (and the public) about how we are causing looting
of archaological sites by collecting unprovenanced artifacts. That
allegation is being presented to the public as though it were scientifically
established truth, rather than what it really is - a mere hypothesis for
which no verifiable evidence has ever been presented.

I do not believe that this allegation can be proven, and in my opinion the
real "moral lepers" in this controversy are those who seek to deprive
collectors of their rights without demonstrating just cause.

This is a very wide subject that is being covered and instead of jumping the
backs of collectors, why not go after the real bad guys. These would be the
government that creates the problem by their restrictions that create the
market for artifacts including coins. They have no way to catolog or even
store correctly the thousands of coins that are being dug up. This is really
being done by collectors. It would seem that the loot would sit untouched
and unresearched if not for collectors.

I take pride in my collection and have created my own private museum which
most collectors do. Hats off to the Brits for common sense. They set the
standard by which all other countries should follow in the handling of
archeological finds. Most countries have no capital for the preservation of
these materials in these financial times. Why not have the archeological
people oversee the digs, inspect the recovered artifacts and separate out
what is of importance and what is not. The government could then either
release the unwanted artuifacts to the finders if privately found or for
sale thru their agencies if covered by government authorized and subsidized
digs.Both sides would then have access to materials that could be legally
obtained.

Dave, this is simply because archaeologists are thieves themselves and many
hoard for their own private and hidden collections. Also, they don't want
any "artifact wealth" in the hands of private citizens, hoarding it all for
their museums and themselves. They use the "loss of provenance and loss of
proper research" as an excuse toward this end.
This is also why entire nations are becoming involved in stealing
rightfully owned artifacts from private collections, even those that are
over a century old. It is a greed grab.

James,

What you say is perhaps true of some archaeologists but I don't think that
most in the discipline are really like that. It is the radical faction that
is causing all these difficulties.

Before Colin Renfrew began his anticollecting campaign, collectors and
archaeologists were allies.

The Nickle Numismatic Collection of Greek coins [at the time, a very
important collection] was ruined by the idiocy of an ignorant and
incompetent female curator who sent them all out to be polished:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Unidroit-L/message/647

There seems to be no limit to the incompetence, negligence and rapacity of
those put in charge of coins and other antiquities that have been placed in
the custody of source state academic institutions and cultural ministries.
Nepotism and favoritism are rife, and those appointees who do not endanger
artifacts they are responsible for by ignorance and stupidity, all too often
steal them.

If one had to select custodial candidates for artifacts based upon
knowledge, competence, honesty and reliablility, collectors would rank far
above most curators and officials in museums and cultural ministries. It is
only the best institutions whose standards exceed that which the typical
collector would provide.

I only had posts from 2 of them in my keep, but it was interesting to see

None of it proves that they are the same, but it's certainly unusual
