I'm not positive about this yet, I've got to do some more work, but there
certainly isn't as much as I'd assumed. And it's true that tin was
exported in the form of bronze, but how much, from where and when is
something I am chasing up.

I'm intrigued about this 'Doug's a revisionist' attack. Some people, eg I
believe Yuri, attack me and others for being unwilling to veer from some
imagined establishment viewpoint. Seppo seems upset because I don't hold
current paradigms in history or archaeology sacred (which I don't).

But if I'm a revisionist, what is Inger? Or Seppo himself who seems to
support a lot of Inger's ideas?
