[MR] Viking ship buried beneath pub then parking lot

[Lady Ro]

I believe it would have to be done "privately"  - i.e. yes, the herbalists
guild of the Barony of Let'sGetTheKnowledgeOut could hold a silent auction
to benefit Professor Harding's excavation at their event.   But the money
should not go thru SCA accounts.

OF course, I could easily be wrong - I've been known to err on the more
stringent interpretation of IRS and SCA laws.
