The Treasure Act 1996 is a continuing success, ensuring that museums are able to acquire the most significant archaeological discoveries for the benefit of all. 2012 saw a modest increase in the number of potential Treasure finds reported in England, Wales and Northern Ireland (990); 21 more than the number reported in the previous year. Of these items, 367 have been (or are to be) acquired by museums. Many museum acquisitions have been made possible only through the kind assistance of funding bodies, particularly the Art Fund, Headley Trust, Heritage Lottery Fund, National Heritage Memorial Fund and the V&A Purchase Grant Fund. We are thankful to these organisations for their recognition of the importance of archaeological finds and their support of museums’ efforts to acquire them. This year also saw the launch of a new funding stream from the Art Fund called ‘Treasure Plus’ which enabled museums that had already acquired Treasure to increase the public’s engagement with it by facilitating new displays, exhibitions and learning activities. I also applaud the large number of interested parties waiving their right to a reward for Treasure cases, with individuals foregoing their share in 93 cases this year. These donations have allowed 52 museums to acquire finds that may otherwise have not been available for the public to study and enjoy. There are many bodies and people who deserve praise for the ongoing success of the Treasure Act, in particular the Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS) and its local network of Finds Liaison Officers (FLOs), to whom almost all finds of Treasure are reported. The FLOs’ role is vital in disseminating information about the Act and archaeological best practice to finders of treasure and landowners. They are indispensable in facilitating the administration of Treasure cases and providing the logistical means for the Act to function. Together with curators, scientists and conservators at the national museums of England, Wales and Northern Ireland, they also provide expert reports on Treasure finds for Coroners, who, along with their staff, are also owed thanks for their diligence in holding Treasure inquests. The Department of Britain, Europe and Prehistory at the British Museum, which coordinates the PAS, also supports coroners in England and serves as the secretariat for the Treasure Valuation Committee and I am grateful for their continued excellent work. In order to ensure the long-term success of the Act, and that it reflects current practice and works as efficiently as possible, the Government began this year a process to conduct a Review of the Treasure Act Code of Practice. This will also consider the definition of Treasure, and whether that should be amended. Finally I would like to acknowledge the invaluable contribution of the Treasure Valuation Committee, chaired by Lord Renfrew of Kaimsthorn, which considered 359 treasure cases during 2012. I am thankful for the services of all of the Committee members, who voluntarily provide their time and expertise. Ed Vaizey Minister for Culture and the Digital Economy December 2014 5 6 Introduction Under the Treasure Act 1996, finders have a legal obligation to report all finds of potential Treasure. For a summary see finds.org.uk/treasure or the leaflet Advice for Finders of Archaeological Objects, Including Treasure. The Act allows a national or local museum to acquire Treasure finds for public benefit. If this happens, a reward is paid, which is (normally) shared equally between the finder and landowner, though the interested parties may wish to waive their rights to a reward, enabling museums to acquire such finds at no or reduced cost. Rewards are fixed at the full market value of the find, determined by the Secretary of State on the advice of an independent panel of experts known as the Treasure Valuation Committee. Although Treasure finds account for a relatively small proportion of archaeological finds found in England and Wales by the public, finders are encouraged to record all archaeological finds with the Portable Antiquities Scheme: this data is published on the online database at finds.org.uk. The Scheme and its network of local archaeologists – experts in recording small finds, known as Finds Liaison Officers – play an increasingly important role in the operation of the Treasure Act, advising finders of their legal obligations, providing advice on the process and writing reports on potential Treasure finds for local coroners. Organisation The administration of the Treasure Act is undertaken by the Department of Britain, Europe and Prehistory at the British Museum, which employs a Treasure Registrar and four Assistant Treasure Registrars, one of whom is part-time. This work involves the preparation of Treasure cases for inquest (at a Coroner’s Court), the handling of disclaimed cases, acting as the secretariat of the Treasure Valuation Committee, and the payment of rewards to finders/landowners. Treasure Valuation Committee The Committee’s terms of reference are detailed in the Treasure Act 1996 Code of Practice. In short, it is tasked to recommend to the Secretary of State the value of Treasure finds, to recommend abatements of rewards in the case of misbehaviour on the part of the interested parties, and to recommend an apportionment of the reward when there is a disagreement among the parties. The Committee is made up of independent experts appointed for their knowledge of the antiquities trade; its membership also includes someone to represent the interests of finders, a museums’ representative, and an expert in cultural property law. Membership of the Committee at the time of publication consisted of Lord Renfrew of Kaimsthorn (Chairman), Professor Ian Carradice, Dr Tim Pestell, Ms Marian Campbell, Ms Harry Bain, Ms Hetty Gleave, Mr Peter Clayton and Mr Jim Brown. More information on the Treasure Valuation Committee, as well as electronic versions of the minutes of the meetings of the Committee, can be found online at finds.org.uk/treasure Treasure Annual Reports Copies of previous reports can be found at finds.org.uk/news 7 Treasure cases 2012 Number of Treasure cases and geographic distribution The number of Treasure cases reported in 2012 was 990 (Table A), an increase of 2.2% on 2011. This is a 393% increase on the first full year of the Act (1998). Table A: Number of Treasure cases reported 1988–2013 (England, Wales and Northern Ireland).

  • Servants' Passage
    SERVANTS’ PASSAGE: Cultural identity in the architecture of service in British and American country houses 1740-1890 2 Volumes Volume 1 of 2 Aimée L Keithan PhD University of York Archaeology March 2020 Abstract Country house domestic service is a ubiquitous phenomenon in eighteenth and nineteenth century Britain and America. Whilst shared architectural and social traditions between the two countries are widely accepted, distinctive cultural identity in servant architecture remains unexplored. This thesis proposes that previously unacknowledged cultural differences between British and American domestic service can be used to rewrite narratives and re-evaluate the significance of servant spaces. It uses the service architecture itself as primary source material, relying on buildings archaeology methodologies to read the physical structures in order to determine phasing. Archival sources are mined for evidence of individuals and household structure, which is then mapped onto the architecture, putting people into their spaces over time. Spatial analysis techniques are employed to reveal a more complex service story, in both British and American houses and within Anglo-American relations. Diverse spatial relationships, building types and circulation channels highlight formerly unrecognised service system variances stemming from unique cultural experiences in areas like race, gender and class. Acknowledging the more nuanced relationship between British and American domestic service restores the cultural identity of country house servants whose lives were not only shaped by, but who themselves helped shape the architecture they inhabited. Additionally, challenging accepted narratives by re-evaluating domestic service stories provides a solid foundation for a more inclusive country house heritage in both nations. This provides new factors on which to value modern use of servant spaces in historic house museums, expanding understanding of their relevance to modern society.

  • Caverswall and Gainford Compared Adapted from Various Sources
    CAVERSWALL AND GAINFORD COMPARED ADAPTED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES THE ARHCITECTURE Caverswall Castle, built probably some time after 1611 by Mathew Cradock, Mayor of Stafford and later its M.P., is fairly named, for it stands within the enceinte1 of a medieval castle; and Victorian embellishments made it slightly more castle-like when the crowning classical balustrade was replaced by a parapet with minimal crenels2. It may be from a Smythson3 stable: the date makes John rather than Robert the more likely architect. Caverswall is a slab with a partially split spine, the space between its two walls being used for a short narrow corridor and closets. Since the entry, on the south front, is central and into a transverse passage which (screened from the hall) leads across the house to one of two projecting staircase towers, there is a cruciform pattern of routes on the ground floor, though the western arm of the cross comes quickly to a halt in a massive stack with back-to-hack hearths at each level. A projecting tower at the west end, gives access only to the rooms in the Western half. True, these are the evident rooms of state including an unusually large apartment on the second floor, but four identical and identically divided apartments on the two upper floors in the eastern half of the house must be approached from the great back stair. Though it is of the same form as its grander brother, the back stair is unadorned and contains an original hoist and tackle in its central well; so it is very visibly also the service stair, and therefore used for secondary access to the great rooms to the west.
