Synopsis
Magnificently illustrated, Britain's Secret Treasures is an official British Museum companion to
the ITV series, celebrating extraordinary artefacts found by ordinary members of the public and
the secret histories they've revealed. Every year, hundreds of valuable artefacts are discovered by ordinary members of the public. From hoards of Roman gold to tiny Viking spindle whorls, thousands of years of life in Britain are represented in these lost treasures. By exploring how these treasures were created, handled, discarded, and ultimately rediscovered, Britain's Secret Treasures reveals our ancestors lives and beliefs on an intimate, personal scale. Exciting and accessible, and including a chapter from the British Museum on how to go about treasure hunting yourself, this book will celebrate the rich history of Britain through the belongings our ancestors made, used, and treasured.
