It appears that the PAS has pulled all the stops out in support of the local history group's archaeological grabfest. How nice for the "partnership"! Here are the records created and last updatedby Suffolk FLO Andrew Brown for the artefact hunters on Wednesday 23rd October 2013:
Record ID: SF-7FF365 Charles I sixpence, no image.
Record ID: SF-7AC772 Edward I penny, no image.
Record ID: SF-7AB9F4
Edward I, penny, no image.
Record ID: SF-7A5CD6 Roman coin Tetricus I radiate , no image.
Record ID: SF-67B4D6 Roman coin Diocletian, GENIO
POPV-LI ROM[], no image.
Record ID: SF-67A5E3 Roman coin Diocletian, GE[]O
POPV-LI ROM[], no image.
Is this everything that the rally detectorists handed in for recording? Is this all they collected, just the coins? What does this bare list of numismatic finds from one or more fields in the parish tell us about the archaeology of the places they came from?
So this part of Suffolk was inhabited or visited by coin using folk in the third and fourth centuries (like most of lowland England) there was some activity out here in the fields in the thirteenth century (like most of lowland England)and in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries (like most of lowland England), but then was abandoned, to judge from the finds recorded a total archaeological wasteland until the present day. What happened to any other artefacts in those fields associated with the objects removed?
Have any of these objects been removed from potentially archaeologically-significant associations?
