The Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS) is a Department for Media, Culture and Sport funded project to encourage the recording of archaeological objects found by members of the public. The online database contains detailed information and photographs for each object recorded by the PAS dating from the Palaeolithic to post-medieval periods. From the inception of the PAS until the end of 2017 a total of 49,077 objects have been recorded from Wiltshire. The PAS database is one of the most significant archaeological datasets in the county and over 600 research projects have been undertaken nationally using PAS data. In 2017, 3,412 finds from Wiltshire were added to the PAS database in 2,923 records by a number of Finds Liaison Officers, self-recorders and dedicated volunteers. Many of the objects included in this round up have been donated by the finder and the landowner to: Salisbury Cathedral; the Salisbury Museum; Swindon Museum and Art Gallery; the Wiltshire Museum, Devizes; the British Museum.
During 2013 a total of 4,392 Wiltshire finds were added to the Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS) database in 2,616 database records by a number of Finds Liaison Officers, self recorders and dedicated volunteers. A proportion of finds examined by the Wiltshire Finds Liaison Officer and colleagues were not recorded – generally nds that post-date AD 1700. The artefacts described below are considered to be particularly interesting examples reported to the Scheme during 2013. The PAS database number (Find ID) is included in each description.
