The work of the Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS) has been highlighted in this journal since 2005, and an introduction to the scheme can be found in previous reports. In 2016 18,483 objects dating to the post-medieval and modern periods were recorded by the PAS in 15,928 records. This represented 22% of all objects recorded; a 5% decrease in objects, but 1% increase in proportion, from 2015. The major functional categories (calculated by object) were: currency (coins and tokens) (37%), dress accessories (21%), arms and armour (8%), trade equipment (including jettons) (10%), vessels (5%), animal (including equestrian) equipment (4%), household fittings (4%). In the report for 2015 we noted a change in guidance whereby the PAS was being more selective in recording material datable after 1540, and the reasons for it. Of course, more recent artefacts of local importance continue to be recorded by the Finds Liaison Officers (FLOs), as do items of Treasure; both of these categories are represented in the objects highlighted below. From the above statistics it appears this change in guidance was not, at least in 2016, impacting the quantities or proportions recorded, though its effects will become clearer in future years. Sadly, it was while preparing this note that we learned of the untimely passing of our colleague David Williams, longstanding FLO for Surrey and East Berkshire. Though David was a published authority on late early-medieval metalwork, his expertise extended to all archaeological periods, to the incalculable benefit of his colleagues by whom he will be greatly missed. Indeed, David was a particular champion of post-medieval and modern finds, of significance locally to Surrey and more widely, many of which were published in previous editions of this report. A small measure of this lies in the fact that the pair of records cited alongside the dog collar published below were both David’s. As ever, many finds recorded in 2015 are both noteworthy and provide potential for further research, both into the objects and their context, and a few are highlighted and discussed here.

2016年便携式古物计划报告

自2005年以来，《便携式古物计划》（PAS）的工作就得到了重点介绍，有关该计划的介绍可以在以前的报告中找到。在2016年，PAS记录了18483个可追溯到中世纪和现代时期的物品，共记录15928件。这占记录的所有对象的22％；与2015年相比，物品减少了5％，但比例增加了1％。主要功能类别（按物品计算）为：货币（硬币和代币）（37％），服饰配件（21％），武器和盔甲（ 8％），贸易设备（包括喷气机）（10％），船只（5％），动物（包括马术）设备（4％），家用配件（4％）。在2015年的报告中，我们注意到指南的变化，即在1540年之后，PAS在记录材料数据方面更具选择性，并说明了原因。当然，寻人联络官（FLO）继续记录更多本地重要的人工制品，宝藏物品也是如此；这两个类别均在下面突出显示的对象中表示。从以上统计数据来看，指导的这种变化似乎至少在2016年没有影响记录的数量或比例，尽管其影响在未来几年将变得更加明显。令人遗憾的是，正是在准备这份便条时，我们得知了我们的同事大卫·威廉姆斯（David Williams）的过早去世，他是萨里（Surrey）和东伯克郡（East Berkshire）的长期劳工组织。尽管戴维（David）是中世纪晚期晚期金属制品的权威出版者，但他的专业知识已扩展到所有考古时期，这给他的同事们带来了无法估量的好处，而他将被他深深地怀念。的确，大卫是中世纪和现代发现的特别拥护者，对萨里大学来说意义重大，而且范围更广，其中许多已在本报告的先前版本中发表。这其中的一个小量标准在于，下面发布的狗项圈旁边引用的那对记录都是David的。与往常一样，2015年记录的许多发现均值得注意，并为进一步研究对象及其背景提供了潜力，此处重点介绍和讨论了其中一些。
