For hundreds of thousands of years our ancestors have walked these isles
burying, dropping and throwing away their belongings, and now these treaures
lie waiting for us, keeping their secrets until we uncover them once more.
Every year, hundreds of vaulable artefacts are discovered by ordinary members
of the British public. Here in Britain's Secret Treasures, which accompanies
the ITV series, the British Museum chooses eighty of the most fascinating
finds ever reported and Mary-Ann Ochota shares with us the moving histories
that bring each piece to life. There is also a detailed chapter showing you
how you can get involved in archaeology too.
From hoards of Roman gold and Bronze Age drinking vessels to tiny Viking
spindle whorls and weapons from dozens of wars, all manner of treausres are
described here. Some help prove that our ancestors were alive over half a
million years ago, some saw their modern-day finders receive a generous
reward, all provide an insight into the wodnerful, dynamic, colourful history
of our nation.
