Some Interesting PAS Stats (1)

.
The PAS database has been working a little bit clunkily over the past few days, I've been trying to pull some figures out, but its going very slowly. So here's one search I did, I'll post the results up for your delight and edification: Statistical analysis of the database for for Wednesday 1st January 2003 until Sunday 21st March 2010. the significance of the date in March 2010 is that the next day a whole load of extraneous data were dumped into the database from two coin archives. They contain records going back well into the last century and items found by ploughboys and archaeological investigations, thus blurring the picture if we want to use the PAS database to study the effects of artefact hunting alone.

I'll be looking into the significance of these in my seminar on 10th April. There is actually something very interesting emerging from them.
