The hoard consists of around 1500 items including 5kg of gold. It was initially said to be 7th century, though a report on the inscribed pieces suggests an 8th-9th century date.  The significance [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=politicalarchaeology.wordpress.com&blog=452112&post=188&subd=politicalarchaeology&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Much has been made in the last 25-30 years of critical archaeological scholarship of the power of the meta-narrative as a device that makes implicit use of or subverts archaeological material in order to legitimate and perpetuate socio-cultural, and political ideas. One salient modern example is the archaeology of Saudi Arabia, which bears witness to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=politicalarchaeology.wordpress.com&blog=452112&post=182&subd=politicalarchaeology&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

These are not reconstructions or restorations. Although they might be couched in such terms, there [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=politicalarchaeology.wordpress.com&blog=452112&post=170&subd=politicalarchaeology&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

The regional and personal names that describe many of the world&#8217;s archaeological unknowns &#8211; Lydia, Keros, Sevso, Priam - have a certain resonance; their origins unspoken, hidden or fabricated, lost in the scramble to unearth, collect, sell. Then there&#8217;s hoards with more exact placenames &#8211; Hoxne, Snettisham and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=politicalarchaeology.wordpress.com&blog=452112&post=163&subd=politicalarchaeology&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

It&#8217;s seen as an eccentric, marginal hobby. Hardly something to get worked up about. Not like the ransacking of the Baghdad Museum, or Elgin&#8217;s removal of the marbles.
