The Portable Antiquities Original Blogs

The Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS) is a UK-based project that encourages the voluntary recording of archaeological objects found by members of the public. Established in 1997 and managed by the British Museum, the PAS aims to advance knowledge of the past by documenting finds, promoting best practice, and making data accessible to researchers and the public.

This repository contains a Jekyll instance of old posts from the Portable Antiquities Scheme blogs, which were lost when servers died and a backup was corrupt. The blog posts were recovered from the Wayback Machine in 2018 whilst I was working in Tokyo.
