Abstract:

The advent of the Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS) has added a great deal to our understanding of prehistoric metal artefacts in England and Wales, namely in expanding enormously the corpuses of objects previously thought to be quite scarce. One such artefact type is the miniature socketed 'votive' axe, most of which are found in Wiltshire and Hampshire. As a direct result of developing such recording initiatives, reporting of these artefacts as detector finds from the early 2000s onwards has virtually trebled the number originally published by Paul Robinson in his 1995 analysis.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTEight Roman coins were reported in 2007 to the Portable Antiquities Scheme. All the coins were late Roman issues, with the latest identified as a Gloria Romanorum type dating to A.D. 406–408. This coin is only the second of its type to be identified in Britain, and it was found outside the normal area of fifth-century coins in southern Britain, in the Hadrian's Wall corridor. The finding of the group with its late coin begs the question of how many more fifth-century Roman issues may be as yet undiscovered or misidentified in Britain.

Abstract:

Iron Age tankards are stave-built wooden vessels completely covered or bound in copper-alloy sheet. The distinctive copper-alloy handles of these vessels frequently display intricate ‘Celtic’ or La Tène art styles. They are characterised by their often highly original designs, complex manufacturing processes, and variety of find contexts. No systematic analysis of this artefact class has been undertaken since Corcoran’s (1952a) original study was published in Volume 18 of these Proceedings. New evidence from the Portable Antiquities Scheme for England and Wales and recent excavations have more

This paper discusses the role of bias and uncertainty in the FLAME project (Framing the Late Antique and Early Medieval Economy) at Princeton University. FLAME is a large Digital Humanities project focused on collecting and storing data on coin minting and circulation in west Afro-Eurasia from 325 to 750 CE, roughly coinciding with the period of transition between the late antique and early medieval periods. The overarching goal is historical – that is, we wish to be able to say something new about how the world of late antiquity and the medieval period really was. However, in the process of b

Abstract:

Traditionally, Roman temples and shrines in Britain have been contextualised in relation to wider ‘Roman’ religious practices. Until recently, considerations of architectural form and named deities have dominated discussions. The wider turn in archaeological discourse recognising ritual in everyday contexts has highlighted the importance of lived experience and landscape practice in shaping belief. Here we reflect on the implications of such ideas when approaching ritual practice at Roman temples, using a recently excavated example from Wiltshire, southern Britain, as a case study. The excepti

Abstract:

This thesis explores the potential of Roman coin data, particularly that recorded by the PAS, as a tool for understanding the development of the Roman province of Britannia. Using a range of Applied Numismatic techniques, it surveys patterns of coin loss to evaluate when, where, by whom and for what purpose Roman coins were employed. In doing so, it provides an insight not only into the economy of Roman Britain, but also a range of themes such as regionality and Romanisation. Five case-studies involve analysis of the coin data at a national or regional level. The first, outlined in Chapter 4,

Abstract:

Archaeology is still widely equated with excavation in popular perception, and inevitably with the prospect of recovering treasure. The exponential increase in metal-detecting since the 1990s has resulted in the discovery of some major finds and hoards that arguably should belong to the nation, and not be subject to the uncertainties of public auction. The introduction of the Portable Antiquities Scheme is uniquely British in relying upon voluntary co-operation of treasure hunters reporting their finds, and there is every reason to believe that non-reporting and ‘night-hawking’ are more prevalent than is acknowledged. Britain in any event is out of step with the rest of Europe, even though it is nominally a signatory of the Valletta Convention. In terms of antiquities legislation generally, Britain has never adopted as rigorous a regime as it endowed its former colonies with, mainly because it has always treated archaeology as a hobby and accorded priority to the entitlement of land and property owners.

Abstract:

Chapter 3 presents an overview of the nature of the hoard evidence from Roman Britain, based on the work of the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC)-funded joint British Museum and Leicester University research project, titled Crisis or continuity: Hoarding in Iron Age and Roman Britain with special reference to the third century AD. The project, led by Roger Bland, has collected data on all Iron Age and Roman coin hoards found in Britain to understand their archaeological context and the changing nature of hoard deposition during this period. Analysing numismatic data alongside information on the archaeological and landscape context of coin hoards allows this material to be reintegrated into wider social and archaeological narratives for Roman Britain and studied alongside the large data set of single finds held by the Portable Antiquities Scheme. This approach also highlights a number of methodological issues in the interpretation and definition of coin hoards.

Abstract:

A series of colorfully enameled metal vessels name forts along Hadrian’s Wall in Britain. They preserve creative responses to one of the empire’s most ambitious construction projects, a complex fortification system that was never represented in official art. Three well-preserved vessels have been recorded in England and northern France, and more fragmentary examples continue to be registered with England’s Portable Antiquities Scheme. The designs of this expanding corpus draw on six key elements: a vessel shape popular throughout the empire; enameling technology associated with the Celtic peoples of the empire’s northern lands; letters of the Latin alphabet; place names in the Celtic language; a fortified wall motif with precedents in Hellenistic court mosaics; and a triskel motif common in Celtic metalwork. These intricate portrayals conjure a place that was far more than a wall, while illustrating the entangled aesthetics of an evolving borderland.
