                                for reuse




Pull data from our database
and the BM collections online
to teach numismatics
Parliamentary data via Hansard
• Can find out if an MP or Peer has ever spoken
about archaeology
• Can find all archaeological monuments and
public discoveries in their constituency's
bounding box
• We can approach those who haven’t been
supportive of the Scheme or archaeology if their
area is highly productive
• We can raise our political profile!
• Any other heritage body can use this as a tool!

Rurality of coin distributions?

                    PhD student at the Institute
                    comparing static data from
                    PAS, HERs and coin hoard
                    reports to produce a
                    synthesised map to update
                    Richard Reece’s study of
                    Roman coin finds. This will
                    change our knowledge of
                    Roman Britain to a ruralised
                    landscape.
This is obviously Stonehenge, and no we don’t have any recorded metal
detector activity here. The above just demonstrates the Google Earth plugin on
our new database. If you’re interested this is WOEID 26351828 and is 87
metres above sea level.
