Career
[edit | edit source]Pearce has led conservation work on many of the most famous coin hoards of recent years, including the Watlington Hoard,[3] Tetbury Hoard,[4] Yeovil Roman Hoard,[5] Lenborough Hoard,[6][7] and Seaton Down Hoard.[8] Most famously, she has worked on the Frome Hoard.[9][10]
Due to the large number of coin hoards discovered needing preliminary conservation at the British Museum, Pearce has changed metal conservation processes in order to manage the large volume of coins, particularly Roman coins.[11][12]
