[QUOTE="EWC3, post: 3191676, member: 93416"]Sorry - took me a while to track the paper down - (got bogged down on trying to get to the Researchgate version). Note this paper has only been out a few weeks Anyhow "Claimed by the Sea" is the excavation report I already mentioned The full extent of the treatment of the Salcombe weight in the Wang paper above is this: "The investigations together recovered 31 objects including ....... one rectangular block/weight" Thats it!!!! Rather makes my point I think? I believe I met this Wang in the BM labs some years back - when following up questions about Chinese fakes. If so, she is an expert metallurgist, a very pleasant person, but she knew very little about coins, weights or ancient economics back then, and its not clear from this paper that anything changed since. Actually, that meet was mostly memorable because her boss was in the room, and on hearing I was connected to coin collecting, that other woman ostentatiously turned her back on me - in a quite deliberate snub.
