It offers an unparalleled collection of artifact identifications and photographs spanning from the Stone Age through the 20th century, making it an essential resource for metal detectorists, archaeologists, and history enthusiasts seeking to decode the stories behind their finds. ## Description Possibly the most comprehensive finds identification book ever published. The Team at the British Museum and the Portable Antiquities Scheme have spent years collating, identifying and photographing finds from the Stone Age through to the 20th century, and for the first time, this book pulls together a selection of the most interesting items in one beautiful volume. Lavishly illustrated with thousands of photographs, this book not only helps to identify the artefacts but puts them in context and offers detailed information on each object. This book is organised on a thematic basis with similar types of objects being placed together, rather than separated by period. This will allow readers to see how object types changed over time with the introduction of new materials, techniques and styles. Review: Not cheap, but it’s a really good guide & worth it! - I’d just started metal detectoring in my village, and belong to a local archaeological group. I wanted to be able to identify what I was digging out if it wasn’t obvious. I thought I’d just use it as a reference guide but honestly it’s so interesting I just kept reading!! Review: Great book - New to metal detecting bought several books but this one tops them all ## Features - The British Museum’s Portable Antiquities Scheme FINDS IDENTIFIED An illustrated guide to metal detecting and archaeological finds Possibly the most comprehensive finds identification book ever published.
