Introduction
Each season, the excavations at Silchester produce thousands of
finds. Of these, approximately 500 are Small Finds such as coins,
stamped ceramics, whole pots and other interesting objects. All
the Silchester finds are catalogued in a digital archive which is
part of an archaeological database programme known as the Integrated
Archaeological Database or IADB which was written and is maintained
by Mike Rains at the York
Archaeological Trust.
While the first stage of post-excavation analysis, which will include
specialist reports on finds, is anticipated for 2001, some finds have already
been examined, and short reports on some of them are included here. These
include a candlestick and the entire skeleton of a dog. |
