movies too!) but none of them considers the moral side of this occupation. Our game explains in an enthralling manner what it is like to be an archaeologist and why and how treasure hunters are harmful.

Local people mined and worked iron throughout this time. Perhaps this output was the main reason for the centuries-old habitation of the locality and the prosperity of its residents.

Up to the current state of knowledge, this section was secured for the first time by a fortification with the reorganisation of the limes under the Tetrarchs and Constantine. A new interdisciplinary project aims the investigation of a settlement complex at the western edge of the Yantra mouth plain. By using different survey methods, clear evidence for a systematic land division and an intensive agriculture in the border
zone from the 2nd to the beginning of 5th c. was found.

AD. Almost in all cases they are attributed to barbarian tribes. However, it is difficult to find traces of these events in the archaeological record. The main problem stems from imprecise archaeological dating, which often results from an over-reliance on information provided by ancient authors. Further, it is difficult to identify the ethnic affiliation of the invaders responsible for the material evidence of destruction. The problem of identifying the invaders' ethnicity is further complicated by the probability of destruction caused by internal riots, accidents and natural disasters. However, these obstacles should not lead us to conclude that we cannot identify the invaders through archaeology. The correct interpretation of a particular destruction site depends on establishing its chronology based on precise stratigraphic excavations. The current paper presents the history of various cases from the Danube limes.

that all states already recognise the contribution of their material heritage to society through existing laws and conventions and so should act appropriately. The second is the economic and financial argument – that far from being a burden on public and private finances, properly
conducted archaeology is extremely cost-efficient and effective. The third argument is the public benefit argument – that archaeology is a contributor not only to the understanding of our shared past, but to a wide range of other tangible benefits to state, funder, public and archaeologist alike.
