Why Make up Stories for exhibits?
Regular visitors may agree that an all too often line on the site is “if only such things could talk”. It is true, and stated on the homepage, that we do “speculate” on an items history. My understanding of speculate is that it is, by definition an imprecise method. Again, where possible units known to be in an area where an item was found are used. I think that such speculation adds to the wonder of this artifacts from the past. The circumstances of some items loss may be speculative, the MIA’s on the site of course are real enough. None of the finds are “staged” either!
