50 FINDS FROM SOMERSET (PB)

Somerset's varied landscape, has shaped, and been shaped by, our predecessors - millions of people who have lived and worked in the area. 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. 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 book publishes many of these new discoveries for the first time in an accessible way.
