50 Finds from Somerset: Objects from the Portable Antiquities Scheme Burnett Laura
Somerset has a varied landscape, from upland Exmoor to the low-lying wetland Levels and Moors; the mineral rich Mendips to the agricultural land of South Somerset. Often, the only traces of these people's lives are the small objects they left behind, from the stone tools of prehistoric people to the remains of Roman trade and fashions and Medieval and post-Medieval objects reflecting prosperity and conflict.In recent years the Portable Antiquities Scheme has recorded thousands of objects found by members of the public and these have helped to enhance, and often reshape, our knowledge of the past. This diversity has shaped, and been shaped by, our predecessors - millions of people who have lived and worked in the area.
This book publishes many of these new discoveries Discoveries by members of the public have brought new sites to light and have led to further research and understanding.
