What are the most commonly occurring objects in the Pitt Rivers Museum's UK collections?

Just like the global and European collections, [ add links here to those ] the UK collections are dominated by tools (especially stone tools), this time they form over half of the UK collections, more than 1 in every 2 objects. No other object is nearly as common, though again there are significant numbers of pottery items (mostly sherds).

Note: Many artefacts are classified as more than one type of object, for example a drinking horn would be classifled both as a vessel but also as food related.
