SECTION 4 · lr

A certain English law requires finders of ancient items that are prehistoric or made of precious metal to offer the items for sale to English museums at a reasonable price.

The author concludes that this law is not enough to allow English people to protect their archaeological heritage.

Why does the author think this?

Because there was a rare Roman bronze helmet that was sold to a private collector (rather than to a museum).

The author assumes that the rare Roman bronze helmet is something that is part of the English people’s archaeological heritage.

The author assumes that in order for English people to access items that are part of their archaeological heritage, those items cannot be sold to private collectors.

Not necessary, because what English people “want” is irrelevant. The author assumes that in order to do give access to English people’s archaeological heritage, items part of that heritage should be in museums. What English people “want” doesn’t affect this assumption.

Necessary, because if it were not true — if the helmet is NOT part of the archaeological heritage of the English people — then whatever happened to this helmet provides no evidence of whether the law is sufficient to give access to English people’s archaeological heritage.

Not necessary, because the comparative value of the helmet to other items in English museums is irrelevant. The helmet can still be a valuable part of the English people’s archaeological heritage, regardless of whether it’s more or less valuable than other items.

Not necessary, because the amount the private collector paid is irrelevant. What matters is whether the helmet is part of the English people’s archaeological heritage, and whether it needs to be in a museum to give people access to it.

Not necessary, because the amount the museum could have paid is irrelevant. What matters is whether the helmet is part of the English people’s archaeological heritage, and whether it needs to be in a museum to give people acces to it.
