Short profile:

Very sadly our dear colleague and friend, David, passed away in December 2017. He made a remarkable impact on the PAS, fins knowledge and archaeology and is greatly missed.

David was the FLO for Surrey and east Berkshire. He had been involved with Surrey archaeology since the mid 1970s and had worked on many excavations and reports. His background was in graphic design, and then later in archaeological illustration. David was the author of several publications, including a classification of Late Saxon Stirrup-Strap Mounts. The latter would not have been possible without the help of many metal detector users.
