Shouldn't Ron Wyatt be added to the list of archaeological forgers ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.226.104.225 ( talk) 20:28, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
There is no hint or whatsoever that the Nebra disk was the result of archaeological forgery. In fact, the evidence for it being authentical is quite convincing. Thus, the Nebra sky disk should not be mentioned in the article. 141.201.155.154 ( talk) 11:18, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
In the article, the discoveries at Iruña-Veleia are listed among known archaeological forgeries and hoaxes. However, the fact is that there is absolutely no proof that the graffiti found at the archaeological site in 2005 and 2006 and stratigraphically dated in the 2nd-5th centuries AD are forgeries. The findings were made during a professional archaeological excavation at the site of the ancient Roman city of Veleia by an experienced team of archaeologists who performed a correct stratigraphic dating, according to Edward Harris, author of the stratigraphic method used by the archaeologists at Iruña-Veleia and by most archaeologists today http://sos-veleia1.wdfiles.com/local--files/harris/Info-Harris.pdf; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8BXT0fwa9U&feature=youtu.be; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMIcxerbY-o&feature=youtu.be. The authenticity of the findings has also been supported by a number of scholars http://www.sos-irunaveleia.org/informes, including epigraphist and professor of ancient history at the University of Santiago de Compostela Antonio Rodríguez Colmenero http://sos-veleia1.wdfiles.com/local--files/colmenero/Colmenero.pdf, http://euskararenjatorria.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/04-Antonio_Rguez_Colmenero2_.pdf, French linguists Hector Iglesias http://www.sos-irunaveleia.org/iglesias and Jean-Baptiste Orpustan http://www.veleia.com/adjuntos/veleiaNoticias/88_adjunto1.pdf, German Egyptologist Ulrike Fritz http://sos-veleia1.wdfiles.com/local--files/fritz/informe_Ulrika_Fritz.pdf, Belgian geochemist Koenraad van den Driessche http://www.sos-irunaveleia.org/van-den-driessche, and palaeopathologist Joaquín Baxarías http://www.veleia.com/adjuntos/veleiaNoticias/67_adjunto1.pdf. Since there are other scholars who think that the findings are forgeries, it could be stated that there is a scientific controversy on the authenticity of the findings, but to assert that the findings are forgeries is incorrect and contrary to the Wikipedia rules of objectivity and neutrality.

The Glozel Tablets were actually proven with thermoluminence dating to be genuine Iron Age artefacts, see [1] https://www.academia.edu/4357376/The_Scientific_Analyses_of_Glozel . Joostik ( talk) 13:36, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
