Hi Ho, Hi Ho, It’s off to FLO I go
"I also consulted Angie [Bolton FLO] about a possible market or fair site which appears to be currently unknown and which I may have identified from old maps. However the land is arable and has now been replanted so won’t be detectable until August or September 2014".
So what did Ms Bolton reply? "Ooo yes! we love it when you tekkies target known sites like that and hoik out interesting things for our database, GO for it"? Or did the author's blog get an outreachy lecture about good practice and preservation? Are not FLOs paid to do damage control, and not to participate in making ever more of it?
So where in the PAS data fields exactly do you put that information "suspected fair site"? If somebody wanted to search the growing PAS database for information what has been found by metal detecting in and around suspected and known fair sites of different periods (surely a perfectly valid question), how would they go about it? Can they?
