50 finds from Manchester and Merseyside : objects from the portable antiquities scheme

Books, Manuscripts
Greater Manchester and Merseyside are built-up, urban areas, where the archaeology is often hidden under modern buildings and developments. There are also rural pockets of land and open spaces where coins and objects that were lost in the past are brought back to the surface by the plough. These finds are often rediscovered by metal detectorists, field walkers, or simply by chance. The objects then make their way to the Portable Antiquities Scheme, where they are recorded and plotted in order to help us understand more about our past. '50 Finds From Manchester and Merseyside' allows us to dip into our fascinating history using the objects lost by our ancestors as our guide.
