If you are interested in archaeological stuff and things, the past few years especially has been an inundation of "the experts" saying that they will not and should not use artifacts that are not proven to be found from a given site or location (found in "antiquities" dealers).

The puzzle remained unsolved for 42 years. Aharoni has long since passed away. Then in 2007, another bulla stamped with the same seal surfaced on the Jerusalem antiquities market. A simple examination leaves no doubt that it is an impression of the same seal as the Lachish bulla. It, too, is broken off at the right edge. But on this bulla, part of an additional letter to the right of ha-melekh, “the king,” has survived: a dalet! The word before ha-melekh ended in a dalet. The word was eved, “servant.” The seal that made this impression belonged to “the servant of the king”!

okay - so probably boring for most of you, but this is the stuff of excitement for me.

In this day and age when the drama-ography's reign and where the general populous remembers only that "Jesus tomb was found, including genetic proof that it was jesus that was buried there". (I have heard this on more than one occasions!!) - these kinds of discoveries, though small, and out of the "public eye" are significant to many of us.

There was a Geman fellow who posted on the article in comment said that he disagreed with the findings that are published in the article.
He said that he has reasonable facts to support that this stuff didn't come from Hezekiah's servant but that instead it comes from Zedekiah's servant.

It is still facinating.
