English heritage writer John H. Howland has a point about the archeological deceits revealed recently by Peter Tompa:
When archaeologists 'gild the lily' with such things as the $36-million ISIS allegedly makes from illicit antiquities sales, then one has to ask, whether they have been economic with the truth elsewhere. In short, can we (the public) ever really trust their word or research as definitive. My position is... certainly not. Does Piltdown Man or the Hitler Diaries ring any bells with you? I hope this is clear. Best regards John Howland EnglandIt is difficult to argue with that. Thank goodness there are people in the collecting world willing to speak out for the truth.
