The mystery was well thought out, with information threaded carefully throughout, though I was rather disappointed at the description of the Roman jewellery that was dug up. These items don't come out of the ground looking pristine. They look like a dirty lump with centuries of encrustation. Specialists have to spend hours painstakingly cleaning them under magnification to bring them back to anywhere near their former glory, and such a collection from one site must have been a record.
