Continuity and Discontinuity in Artefact Distributions from Multi-Period Archaeological Sites
Artefact finds recovered by metal detecting and reported by members of the public are a growing source of archaeological information, with over 1.2 million finds recorded to date by the Portable Antiquities Scheme in England and Wales. Heritage schemes in many other European countries where hobby detecting for archaeology is legal likewise report growing numbers of finds. Using point pattern analysis, this paper presents a worked-out set of compu…
New Horizons in Understanding Finnish Iron Age Material Culture Through Metal-detected Finds
This article examines the scientific and cultural heritage management opportunities and challenges that have arisen in Finland owing to the growing popularity of recreational metal detecting. We will first introduce the phenomenon as it has developed over the last decade and then discuss public finds as characterful cultural heritage data, examining their archaeological potential as well as the biases that arise from the manner this material has …
Metal detecting and archaeology in the Nordic region. Introduction
The papers presented in this issue describe current successes, opportunities, and remaining challenges in engaging with metal detecting and its outputs — both social and scientific — within the Nordic region and beyond
Improving Systems for Processing Public Finds
This article concerns opportunities for improving systems for processing public finds through digital technology and citizen science, taking England, Estonia, and Finland as case studies. These three countries have differing legislation, but all face a significant growth in hobby metal detecting and consequent increase in archaeological finds being reported, which places pressure on existing resources for recording them. While archaeologists in t…

Evaluating Transformations in Small Metal Finds Following the Black Death
THIS PAPER SEEKS to evaluate transformations in portable material culture following the Black Death in England (1348–1349), specifically through an analysis of small metal finds data recorded with the Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS). It will discuss the use of Geographic Information Systems and other computational methods in archaeological research, and apply this to compare and contrast PAS data against that from excavated urban sites. The imp…
Trade and Travel
This chapter concludes the volume’s second thematic strand (Space and Society) with an analysis of travel and trade in the age of William the Conqueror. Focusing on dynamics of commerce and communication, it traces the movement of goods and people across eleventh-century north-western Europe. The chapter begins with an introductory discussion of trade and commerce, before turning its attention to different kinds of landscapes and road networks. T…
Citizen science archaeological finds on the Semantic Web
FindSampo fosters collecting, sharing, publishing and studying archaeological finds discovered by the public. The framework includes the following: a mobile find-reporting system; a semantic portal for researchers, the public and collection managers to use; and a Linked Open Data service for creating custom data analyses and for application developers
Medieval Commercial Sites
This paper explores some 220,000 medieval objects recorded in the Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS) online database of archaeological small finds through Geographic Information System analysis of their relationship with contemporary market sites. First, an overview of the contents of the PAS database is presented in terms of its spatial and ‘object type’ distribution. Second, the relationship of the medieval finds data against documentary evidenc…
The Anglo-Flemish treaties and flemish soldiers in England 1101–1163
This chapter focuses on the interplay between the wider context of the experiences of itinerant Flemings, and the series of diplomatic treaties that were concluded between the kings of England and the counts of Flanders over the course of the twelfth century. Three examples of these treaties survive to the present day, all concluded in Dover in 1101, 1110 and 1163, though these represent only a sample of the diplomatic exchanges that took place b…
