NB A single artefact may well be categorised as more than type of object eg a fishing spear would be categorised as both 'Fishing' and 'Weapon'. Photographs from the PRM's photographic collections are included in these statistics.
Note that the PRM archaeological collections from Oxfordshire are omitted, as are the items which are neither archaeological or ethnographic.
