| description | Since the establishment of the Portable Antiquities Scheme, the systematic
reporting of metal-detected finds in England and Wales has increased our
knowledge of distribution patterns and complemented the evidence from
assemblages uncovered by conventional excavation. The large number of Roman
metal small finds documented, particularly brooches, now allows for a
quantitative comparison between those recovered through excavation and those
discovered by metal-detecting. This study shows that certain artefact
morphologies are more easily detected than others, resulting in differential
rates of representation in the archaeological record. It is suggested that
similar biases can be seen in artefacts from other periods. This has
important consequences for anyone wishing to use metal-detected material in
synthetic studies. |
