PAStCast!

The podcast from the Portable Antiquities Scheme - the PAS!

In episode 4 hosts we get to the PRETTY stuff (and we're not *just* talking about hosts Lucy Shipley (Finds Liaison Officer, or FLO, in Devon) and Ben Westwood (FLO in Durham))

We're joined in this episode by one of the Treasure Registrars, Amy Marsh, to discuss 'All that Glitters' (and quite a lot that doesn't).

This weeks object in focus is of course a Treasure find, and not just *any* Treasure find but one with magical and amuletic attributes::

we also mention Edith Pretty and Sutton Hoo: https://www.britishmuseum.org/about-us/british-museum-story/people-behind-collection/edith-pretty

and the fabulous book 'Trinkets and Charms' by Dr. Eleanor Standley

Thesis on which the book is based is available here: http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/436/
