The Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS) is a project run by the
British Museum which encourages the voluntary reporting of
archaeological artefacts discovered by members of the public in
England and Wales, particularly metal detector users. Finds are
recorded onto a database (available at www.finds.org.uk), and this
resource now holds records for over 800,000 archaeological objects,
a figure which increases on a daily basis. Since its establishment
in 1997, it has become a key resource for archaeological
researchers. Around 40 per cent of the artefacts recorded on the
database are of Roman date, and the principal aim of this book is
to assess the contribution that this resource can make to our
understanding of Roman Britain. Bringing together vast quantities
of seemingly random finds scattered across the English and Welsh
countryside, Tom Brindle brings order to this data by showing how
it can be used to indicate the presence of 240 previously unknown
Roman sites. These sites are presented within a series of regional
case studies which discuss important new sites as well as
statistics that contribute significantly to the understanding of
the density of settlement in rural Roman Britain.
