My main objection to the way in which finds are recorded, both here and in the PAS is the lack of Grid References which makes the finds next to useless in the eyes of most archaeologists. There are several parishes that I look after that have significant numbers of finds, but no grid references. If I had detailed locations, the finds could be used to plot former settlement patterns which is extremely valuable to us planning archaeologists.
Is the recording of grid references going to be one of your main aims for encouragement? I understand many of the objections MDs have to recording GRD but it still remains that most PAS records are useless to me because of it :face-confused:
