Stupid Female Archaeologists
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. Dave Welsh "note.boy" wrote in message ... A few years back a stupid female archaeologist on Time Team totally ruined a Roman bronze coin by very harshly cleaning it. I emailed Time Team suggesting that she is never allowed near a coin again.
