Lifting the Curse on the Sevso Treasure – Part I

Summary/Abstract: Treasure is the stuff of which, according to Sam Spade, the detective played by Humphrey Bogart in The Maltese Falcon, dreams are made. Archaeologists are necessarily a little more precise in their use of the term than the authors of stories of adventure, mystery or piracy. This is limited to collections of objects of gold or silver, buried long ago in soil, a cavity or a recess in a building or waterbed whose legal ownership ceased to exist after concealment but which are later found by someone other than the person who concealed them.
