Have I mentioned how much I like the Portable Antiquities Scheme?
I'm playing with the PAS database artefact cloud. Click and see. It's a big list of words that reflect the finds - the bigger the words, the more of that kind of object people have found. Coin is biggest (71063 entries), but I clicked on badge, of course. 251 entries. That takes you to the database - click on a header to resort - for instance, click on COUNTY to see finds localized, or TYPE to sort between badge and pilgrim badge. Then click on the individual entries to see pictures and information! Oh my!
I love modern living!
