5 See Allen et al 2016 for a full breakdown of these numismatic data.
6 My thanks and appreciation to the Finds Liaison Officers (FLOs) and other specialists whose hard work recording and identifying the large numbers of medieval coins is bringing such interesting and important material to light, and to Ian Richardson for his help and advice regarding last year’s Treasure cases.

30 Many thanks must go to the FLOs, volunteers and specialists for their hard work in identifying and recording the thousands of medieval objects brought to the PAS every year, as well as providing broader context for many of our finds. Special thanks to Kevin Leahy for his help and comments. All errors and omissions remain the responsibility of the authors.
31 Further work on the burial is being led by Helena Hamerow (University of Oxford) with support from the PAS and Oxfordshire County Council Museums Service. The assemblage is currently being considered under Treasure Act 1996 owing to the presence of some silver artefacts. The other burial was discovered at West Hanney in 2009 (Hamerow et al Citation2015).
