Roger Bland at the ABA Dublin

.
It was announced that Dr Roger Bland will be speaking about the PAS at the American Bar Association meeting in Dublin. In the Internet however you can see what text he will be speaking from. He's posted up a chunk of the Boydell and Brewer book "Metal Detecting and Archaeology" pp63-85 on "The Development and Future of the Treasure Act and Portable Antiquities Scheme". The text actually is mistitled, there is little in it about the "development" of the Scheme and even less about its "future". Most of it is the usual PAS-fluff and several highly contentious statements (p. 71 for example).
