svd.se/fynd-fran-jarnaldern-gar-till-metallatervinningen >archaeological findings from the iron age and viking era gets systematically destroyed >Coins, ritual amulets, wristbands, weights, rings, knives etc. get thrown into metal recycling bin says whistle blower Johan Runer, archaeologist at Stockholms Länsmuseum >The reason, he says, is that when areas are excavated to be cleared for construction, limited resources are allocated to process a certain amount of objects. If more are found, they not stored or sold to the public, but are recycled as scrap metal
There's no explanation as to why the objects can't just be put in a marked box and stored away like what used to be common practice. It isn't clear why they're not sold as souvenirs to the public (that can restore them at home as a hobby) either. It is claimed the motive is to 'not create a market' for cultural artefacts. My guess is it's simply due to a complete lack of regard for Swedish cultural heritage and a complete lack of respect. Entire organizations now care so little for thousands of years of Swedish art and heritage that they rather just toss ancient artefacts in the trash than let the general public preserve them.
Pic is an artefact from Birka (~800ad) that Johan Runer claims would 'likely be recycled' if it was found today.

That's the general critical theory plan yes. This is an indirect result. People just don't care enough to put thousand year old art in a box any more.

As someone who has partaken in a lot of archeological diga in skåne o can tell you we have a SHIT load of metal arrowheads and other junk. These are not of historical value.

Our country has existed since the 800s probably longer, and has been inhabited for hundreds of thousands of years unlike america. Of what historical value is a rusty old arrow head or a lump of spilled bronze from a forge you nigger?

spend 2 minutes having an intern certify them and put them on a public auction

waht about not teaching our children to be proud vikings and be cucked shithead christians and or atheist instead?

Invite us to annex ya any time, old chap. We just need some of your shekels, herring and white people, we're white ourselves too, I promise you. The spetsnaz will cleanse the no-go zones for you.

Swedens got no future now anyways so why preserve its history ?
Robert Reyes
Were talking about rusted lump of twisted metal bud. Nicer examples are kept.
Jason Martinez
It's apparently not limited to those and people would still pay money for arrow heads. We don't want to create a market is literally not an argument. WHY not?
Kevin Sanchez
You can't determine the historical value of an object so easily, it may look like nothing to you, but depending on the site or the material of the object it may be extremely important for archeological theories, don't be a dumb sweede.
Eli Hernandez
>Nicer examples are kept.
No they're not.
Angel Thompson
You fucking mong, everything has a value to someone.
Joseph Jones
I don't get you guys. We are a young nation, we don't have a "race", a unique culture, we have been changing overt the origin of the people who came here to live, like my grandpa who was son of Italians but he was "a Gaucho". Or my Grandma, whos parents were Belgians but she did,'t spoke any French or Dutch. We are a mix with a desire to belongm therefore we created "our culture" to say it's somethign unique to us.
But you guys over Europe, you got your milenia of culture, you long as fuck blood bounds. And yet you stand so idle as all of that gets destroyed. Why?
Gavin Foster
The first Russian annexation I would actually support

babules and trinkets reminding swedes of their racist past must be destroyed sweden has no history nor culture only the niggers coming to your country have history and culture insallah

Michael Cox
>put the trash and unidentified stuff a pile and mark the dig site and estimated time period >sell to the public under legal requirement it has to stay with the box it's packaged in that keeps the details of object info (with not in you can display it but you must keep the box around), object may not be intentionally destroyed (only restored) so no 'le melting artifacts YT video' and current owner has to register ownership (online or just at the nearest shop) to prevent black market >govt. can buy it back if its restored to something amazing (sellers own price) and has legal right to call back item for say 6 month research if the trash turned out to be something amazing >any box-less artefacts must be processed
Suddenly the general public that would LOVE to have an arrowhead or a ring or something from 500ad is CROWD SOURCING restoration of objects that would otherwise be melted, and THEY pay YOU to do it. And there's no black market either. This would be a win-win-win for culture, reasearch, everything. Except the poor metal industry wouldn't get to melt the artefacts.
Only reason I could see this isn't done is because the people in charge don't care about preserving our heritage.
Dominic Rodriguez

Robert Anderson
They have been told for decades now that they were bad people in the past and need to erase it all so they can be reborn. They want to erase all the signs of things they did that were great, even terrible, but great because they're problematic in the current context. And if you point out that Swedes and Finns are different, then their socialist ideas that everyone is exactly the same starts to crumble.
It's sad I know.
Jack Stewart

John Brooks
The first written mention of Swedes was in 98ad by Tacitus. The various kingdoms (predominantly geats/goths and swedes) that are now Sweden have probably been around since around the bronze age collapse around 1200bc. Before then, a Swedish culture existed since the invasion of the indo-europeans around 4000bc, and in total Sweden has been populated by some form of Swedes for about 12-14000 years. I personally would love to have an artefact. Much rather than it being melted. Also the main issue is that they're melting stuff because it's hard to identify and would cost a little bit of money to rinse off and put some rust dissolvent on. Who knows what art is being destroyed.
Give it to the public and let them restore it at home instead of melting it. Problem solved.
Andrew Mitchell
This is still an English speaking board, you inbred hillbillies.
Daniel Russell
Cucknada knows alot about buttplugs kek
Jaxon Nelson
Nope. As the article states artefacts are tossed depending on how easy they are to identify (and thus these artefacts are restored more quickly). They can not possibly determine what the artefacts are when they toss them. Hence the Birka dragon example. Today it would be identified as 'some lump' and melted down.
Connor Gray

Rusty arrow heads and door knobs wont be restored to something marvelous. Just do what any other county does with it's less impressive artifacts: Sell them to tourists and collectors.
Connor Sanders
so, they wont donate them to museums, or gift them away to willing collectors or even sell them on the internet to the international community. instead, they decide to recycle them as scrap metal. just end your nation now faggots
Joshua Wilson
America has a ton of injun arrowheads and it's a crime to keep one if you find one because it's historical. We damn near killed all of them and still value the history yet you destroy your own just to erase your own existence so Muslims can claim you were nothing

We actually preserve Native American artifacts just as old or older. There's museums and private collections all over the country that displays them. Even little country bumpkin towns have old guys with large private collections of arrowheads and such. It's all about preservation even if it doesn't seem to have any value.
Nathan Gomez

Nathaniel Foster
jaja fuck nu de pilespidser sven, hvad med OPs pic rel ?
William Edwards
It's technically a crime but no one takes it seriously. If the police wanted to arrest everyone in this area who owns arrowheads they'd have to arrest the entire town including themselves. Even they think it's a dumb law because it's better to preserve them than just leaving them laying there for no one to appreciate.

Pottery sherds are universally important as dating evidence and can be used to trace entire trade networks for clay and clay goods.
That's pieces of broken pots and plates.
Metal goods are much more rare, no matter the context. Any coin has a lot of historical significance, and value.. well, like I said they should sell it off at public auction to raise money for museums.
Would you buy ancient coins for 100s of dollars? Some would, depending on the coin. But to claim you couldn't find a buyer at any price for that? Are you daft?
Liam Young
I truly hate you swedes, fucking subhumans doing nothing to stop their destruction. You can make the excuse that no one else does anything but then, memes aside, we're not nearly as far gone as your country.

>can tell you we have a SHIT load of metal arrowheads and other junk. These are not of historical value.
Yes they are. If you catalogued these well future (actually current but it's too expensive right now) technology can make isotope tracing of these goods into data that could catalogue where they were mined, forged and how they were traded.
The only context it's junk is when the collection process is badly documented or it's part of strata that have been churned.

What if it's a style of arrowhead that was never seen before? Or that is found in a place where it's grossly anachronistic, leading us to revise certain dates and events?
Throwing everything out without even having someone qualified look at it is stupid.
Joshua Bailey
Oh no we have no money to put small objects in a box somewhere!!!
You know what, we should actually destroy anything slightly inconvenient, I mean all the castles are just standing there not being used, expensive to maintain ehhhh, I mean how many tourists reeeeaally visits them? Not enough I suspect, we could just build a hotel there instead? Maybe the hotel could get government contracts to house refugees? It stimulates the economy!!!
Parker Nguyen
RUDE! No, comrade, it's not like Chechnya anymore. In Syria we've only lost about 30 men so far (throughout 2+ year long campaign).

Nothing should be thrown away. A fucking arrowhead, no matter how "insignificant", isn't really a space demanding object.
There is a finite amount of these objects.
