Inhaltsangabe
Hidden treasure is the stuff of dreams. Many of us have walked across country fields or along a beach and imagined that we've found something unusual, ancient and possibly of enormous value. These discoveries are windows into "lost worlds" - treasured things become treasured insights. In "Hidden Treasures" the reader is engaged in the process of discovery as we follow real archaeological finds that provide us with a picture of our mysterious past. From Stone and Bronze Age Britain to Dark Age and Medieval Britain, the artefacts found reveal the way people like us lived in ancient and more recent times. A bronze bucket from the Dark Ages is part of a burial ritual, a signifying belief in a world of ancestral spirits - the Anglo-Saxon Valhalla. Through beautiful archaeological artefacts, such as iron swords, enamelled brooches, coin hoards, we piece together what the ancient site represented (a cemetery or fortress) and this leads us to discover the life of the people who lived there. "Hidden Treasure" contains valuable information on how to go about discovering ancient finds, and what to do with any artefacts you find.
