Portable Antiquities Scheme Conference – 23 November

At the British Museum – The Portable Antiquities Scheme’s 2015 conference celebrates the launch of PASt Explorers – a five-year Heritage Lottery funded project aimed at recruiting and training volunteers from local communities, helping PAS to record archaeological objects found by members of the public. The conference aims to illustrate how volunteers have contributed to archaeological knowledge, and asks how we can better demonstrate the impact, and celebrate the value, of involving volunteers in archaeology, towards a better understanding our shared past.

The conference takes place in the BP lecture theatre at the British Museum on Monday 23rd November 2015. Admission is free but advance booking is essential. Places can be reserved on the Eventbrite webpage here:
