Interesting ethical conundrum.

Interesting ethical conundrum. Is it OK to buy decontextualised Scandinavian-made Viking Period coins online and write scholarly journal notes about them? The editors of the very solidly established journal Nordisk Numismatisk Unions Medlemsblad think it's OK.
I'm not so sure. When I edited a journal, my policy was to not publish anything where the author had bought his source material.

On the other hand, I know at least two numismatists who think it's unethical (or otherwise wrong, I'm not sure) when I collaborate with metal detectorist volunteers on fieldwork. No money is involved there.

@mrundkvist I'm not an archaeologist but not reliably knowing the provenance and therefore context of the coins would make it difficult to write an informed article in moo l my opinion.
