The podcast from the Portable Antiquities Scheme - the PAS
Episode 2 of Series 2: The Happiest Days of your life…
For episode 2 of this series we’ve moved on to the “whining school-boy, with his satchel “! Yes, we’re going back to school, which some call ‘The Happiest Days of your life”, while for others it’s more like Shakespeare puts it: “Unwillingly to school…”.
Hosts Lucy Shipley (Finds Liaison Officer, or FLO, in Devon) and Ben Westwood (FLO in Durham) talk about childhood and schooling in the archaeological record, and the resources the PAS have on their website for teachers and learners of all ages everywhere!
We're also joined by the Lauren Speed, who was (until last week!) the PASt Explorers Outreach Officer, and the person who produced the fantastic resources linked below (and much, much more).
Our website has a dedicated section containing all these resources, an area for schools to learn about the Portable Antiquities Scheme and explore finds from their local area: https://finds.org.uk/counties/schools/
Lauren has picked the focus objects for this week’s episode, which not although not specifically linked to schooling, are very interesting (and loosely connected, sort of…).
Finds mentioned week:
Figurine of Minerva: https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/907063 (and Fortuna: https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/899267 )
halfpenny of George III: https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/1008110
Magdalen College School commemorative tokens: https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/1001539 and https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/959498
...and Lauren’s picks:
Palaeolithic handaxe: https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/865770#
‘Doves type' stamps: https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/1015348
