How much of the entire Pitt Rivers Museum collections for various types of artefacts come from England?
There are some types of objects that are very under-represented in the English collections:
Basketry
Cordage
Dance related artefacts
Figures
Food related items
Hunting
Marriage
Masks
Narcotics
Ornaments and beads
Plants
Status related items
Trade
and a few items that are better represented in the English collections might be expected:
Boxes
Child related items
Fire related items
Lighting
Time relates artefacts
Toys and Games
A few classes in the Pitt Rivers Museum's overall collections are dominated by English examples:
Nearly a third of all commemorative artefacts come from England
Over 50 per cent of locks and keys come from England
Over 40 per cent of all reproductions come from England (this is not surprising as many were made here of foreign objects but are classified as English)
Over 80 per cent of all scientific apparatus in the Museum comes from England
A third of all items collected to show various techniques are from England
A quarter of all textiles are from England
A quarter of all writing related items are from England
