The archaeologists decided to lift the hoard as a block with its surrounding soil so that it could be excavated under laboratory conditions.A perusal of Eleanor Ghey's The Beau Street Hoard shows what can be gained from such a careful study.
What information has been lost through the rushed and apparently unscientific removal of the Lenborough Hoard from an unploughed field in Buckinghamshire?

Interesting. Does seems a shame that is was excavated in less than a day.
