Quote:I am more interested in this:I do not know to which Dutch provincial depot MARCvSVIBIvSMAvRINvS refers, but I know that there are right now several minor projects underway to study objects that ought to have been studied long time ago. I was told that the finds from Velsen included, when they looked better, at least one spearhead that had been classified as a nail.

A search through any catalogues that mentioned findspots and referred on to dig reports would also be very helpful.
