Statement of the Department of Archaeology of the Silesian Museum on illegal detector prospecting
The Department of Archaeology is against the illegal looting of areas with archaeological finds. In full compliance with the Valletta Treaty and the International Charter on the Management of Archaeological Heritage, it prefers to preserve finds "in situ" while fully respecting scientific requirements. Fully supports non-destructive methods over destructive ones (Kaltenštejn, WWII), if the situation allows it and archaeological situations are not endangered. It participates in education and at the same time actively participates in the protection of archaeological sites from illegal looting, directly in the field.
