Over 725000 objects have now been recorded and 19,000 people have contributed information which is ultimately being used for a wide variety of research. Records include iconic discoveries such as the Moorlands Staffordshire patera or trulla, the immense Frome hoard, the infamous Crosby Garrett Helmet, the world famous Staffordshire Hoard, and more mundane, everyday items that can demonstrate more about rural habitation of Britain. The seminar will be followed by wine and refreshments.
