Disruptive newspapers
It says

And it's sourced to Bland & Johns 1993b pp. 153-157. My questions are:
 * 1) How can newpapers "disrupt" the sorting, cleaning, and stabilization of archeological finds? What, precisely, could The Times or any other paper done to prevent curators from sorting and cleaning the items of this find? Would they have kidnapped key personnel, or excited the public to storm or block the museum buildings, or what?
 * 2) Do Bland & Johns really say this claim, or is that a misinterpretion of the source?
 * 3) If Bland & Johns really do say this, what other ridiculous things do they say, and how good a source are they? Herostratus (talk) 12:55, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Obviously they are much the best source. If you'd met Johns you'd have less difficulty believing this was said. The Staffordshire Hoard, in which the press lost interest a good deal more slowly, is probably the best example for the opposite.  If nothing else, the work of curators was "disrupted" for some time by the perceived need for media appearances. Johnbod (talk) 14:48, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, I would have assumed that any "disruption" in cases like this is simply newspapers wanting to photograph the finders with their discovery. Martinevans123 (talk) 16:04, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I mean, can't the curators just say "No you can't come in here"? How much would this really interrupt the work. It's a bit of calumny on Fleet Street and certainly makes the curators look feckless. Herostratus (talk) 21:19, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm sure they probably can say "No you can't come in here". The disruption is that they have to wait until the newspapers have finished taking their "we-are-real-life-Detectorists-jackpot-winners" glamour shots before they can even begin their time-sensitive conservation work. But that's just my guess. We'd have to ask one of them, I guess. Martinevans123 (talk) 21:42, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
