Portable Antiquities Scheme – March Update

The latest update is provided by Michael Lewis- Head of the Portable Antiquities Scheme (England)

Much has been happening at the British Museum and across the country, so this update is by no means comprehensive, but hopefully, it will give you a flavour of the Scheme’s work over the last month.

In March 5043 individual finds (within 4273 records) were added to the PAS Database by FLOs, FLAs, interns and volunteers, including detectorist self-recorders, bringing the total on the database to 1,801,338 finds within 1,164,361 records. 167 Treasure cases were also reported in March, bringing the year’s total (so far) to 405! PUBLIC self-recorders logged 243 finds.
