2024年,在不列颠哥伦比亚省精品商店发现11个戒指和两座奖章,可能来自中世纪或罗马时代,并捐给西蒙·弗雷泽大学博物馆。 In 2024, 11 rings and two medallions possibly from the medieval or Roman era were found in a British Columbia thrift store and donated to Simon Fraser University’s museum. 一名声称是考古学家的赞助人确认,这些文物在经过长达一年的审查后被接受,尽管缺乏出处,原因是担心这些文物可能会丢失到私人市场。 Identified by a patron claiming to be an archaeologist, the artifacts were accepted after a year-long review despite lacking provenance, due to concerns they might otherwise be lost to private markets. 虽然他们的真实年龄和真实性仍然不确定,但从2026年开始,将保留这些收藏品,并用于新的本科生课程,重点是考古分析、伦理和文物管理。 Though their true age and authenticity remain uncertain, the collection will be preserved and used in a new undergraduate course beginning in 2026, focusing on archaeological analysis, ethics, and artifact stewardship. 课程结束时将举行公开展览,探讨这些物品的潜在历史以及抢劫、所有权和文化保护等更广泛的问题。 The course will culminate in a public exhibition exploring the items’ potential history and the broader issues of looting, ownership, and cultural preservation.
