The Portable Antiquities Scheme

Recording The Past

 

The study of history often involves the evidence from coin finds; not just what is found but where can have a major impact on the interpretation of our past.

 

The Portable Antiquities Scheme is the body charged with the voluntary recording of finds which may be of historic interest. Further down is their News Feed, highlighting major new items of interest.
