Mapping the Metals – Community Heritage and Metal Detecting

This event has ended.

Help conduct and document analysis of the archaeological treasures that can be found on your doorstep.  

Alongside community groups and local detectorists, this event invites members of the public to help conduct and document archaeological analysis – from plotting find spreads to interpreting information and strengthening understanding of life in early Wales from the local archaeological treasures on our doorstep.  

The Portable Antiquity Scheme generates a huge amount of information about archaeological find spots in Wales but lacks scope to conduct in-depth analysis and research. Come and play a part in enhancing knowledge and understanding of the important archaeological landscapes of local communities.
