5. Metal detecting and archaeology in England
(1). Archaeologists have long been divided
over metal detecting. Ever since the hobby emerged in England in the late 1970s,
some have accused it of causing serious damage to archaeological sites, through
the undisciplined removal of artefacts from their contexts. Others, however,
have embraced metal detecting as an invaluable aid to the investigation of the
past.
