The Heritage Journal has discussed my scepticism about the alleged find-spot of the so-called Crosby Garrett helmet.
There is an interesting expansion on legal "fibbery" and HJ rightly wonders how many objects in the PAS database have falsified find-spots.
This is a wider issue. Anyone following the Nostoi debate relating to antiquities returned from North American collections will know that collecting histories can be fabricated.
