Note that there is some double counting in the above table as some places are listed as being from one of two (or more) places.




[1] Note that the English statistics shown at englishness-analysis-overview.html were compiled using an earlier version of the objects database and therefore probably include fewer Oxfordshire objects. This is because new objects have been donated and accessioned recently.
[2] Where there is a question mark next to a number it means that the figure is estimated because the accession book does not specify the exact number of artefacts, saying insteasd 'A large number of' or 'Some ...'
