The contact is Daniel Pett [[log in to unmask]] in the Portable Antiquities Scheme, phone 020 7323 8618, but he's away until later this week. The version of the database allowing direct downloads from searches is due to come online in second half od this month I believe. I have previously ordered specific downloads (eg one years finds from Suffolk) from the scheme - the data in that case was in comma separated tables which I imported into MSAccess. jude Judith Plouviez, Archaeological Officer Suffolk County Council Archaeological Service Shire Hall Bury St Edmunds, IP33 2AR 01284 352448 -----Original Message----- From: Pratt, Nigel [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Monday, September 05, 2005 1:58 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: ALGAO/PAS Data Exchange Agreement Dear All Has any SMR/HER signed the above and/or received any data from the Portable Antiquities Scheme yet?
