The Portable Antiquities Scheme

The provisional programme for our conference has been drafted and it is laid out below. I doubt anyone will want to turn up to listen to what I have to say!   I’m personally looking forward to the Schadla-Hall talk as they are always worth listening to.

Conference tickets are available from Claire Costin (ccostin@thebritishmuseum.ac.uk) - £10 for 1 day, £15 for both (concessions available).
