This is, to put it bluntly, b****cks - I saw the damned stuff today (see my post elsewhere). The big headline-grabbing pieces have been at Durham ever since they were found (with a brief trip to Leeds to be X-rayed). Moreover, none of the stuff I have seen would have any market value as it is all too grotty in appearance. Stuff goes missing in archaeological stores all the time (ask the Austrians where all the Carnuntum Waffenmagazin has gone) and, just as surely, turns up eventually. Sloppy journalism (lorica WHAT from Corbridge?).<br>
