50 Finds from Buckinghamshire : Objects from the Portable Antiquities Scheme Paperback / softback
by Arwen Wood
Part of the 50 Finds series
Paperback / softback
Description
The Portable Antiquities Scheme celebrated its fifteenth anniversary in 2018, and has been operating in Buckinghamshire since 2003 when the scheme went national.
Today the scheme runs in England and Wales, with thirty-nine Finds Liaison Officers recording objects discovered by members of the public.
Working with local archaeology finders, including metal detectorists, this has allowed for both the discovery of new significant objects and sites across the country.
This is a unique scheme, allowing anyone to add to the archaeological record, which in turn has helped research projects using the database to discover more about our heritage. The scheme in Buckinghamshire has recorded a wealth of discoveries, from the everyday objects that showcase the history and life in the area, its industry and creativity, to the more unusual such as the recent discovery of the Lenborough Hoard.
These objects hold the stories of the past, and can tell us about the way of life of the ordinary people.
The book will examine life from prehistory to the more recent, as well as the movement of the people and their belongings.
