Unbelievable

At least sell the items if you think they are simply trash.  That way you'll get more than zero.  Idiots.

Following the revelations of one of its angry archaeologists, it emerges that the curators of Stockholms Länsmuseum have been ordering the systematic destruction of newly found artifacts from the Iron Age and the Viking period under the guise that it would be too burdensome to process.

Coins, arrow heads, ritual amulets, weapons, jewellery and weights that were kept in the past are now directly dumped into metal recycling bins upon discovery instead of being treasured and displayed.

It's a good excuse to terminate all employees who had either gave the ok to do this, or did it and said nothing.  Good riddance to bad rubbish, they can lose their jobs and tell how it feels to be sent to the proverbial recycler themselves.

The Gods are angry with this.

  1. Unbelievable.

    that reminds me of a story where one of the characters accused his enemy of conducting most of his archeology science opening old crates in the British Museum basement. His digs were epic.

  5. I don't know about there, but a lot of places have laws that requires private individuals to turn over historical finds to the govt. Thus it'd be illegal to keep it, but certain destruction if you turn it in.
