Reseña del editor:
This book looks at some key finds of British history, all with a unique story to tell. They include spectacular new discoveries such as the Amesbury Archer and the Winchester gold jewellery, and older finds such as the Mildenhall treasure and coin hoards of the English Civil Wars. It also discusses the small, seemingly insignificant objects from the past - jewellery, clothing accessories and toys, for example - which can tell us just as much about the daily lives of our ancestors as the more glamorous discoveries. Throughout the book, the vital role played by members of the public, from farmers to amateur metal detectorists, in shaping our knowledge of the past is also emphasised. They have found treasure in variety of ways - by chance, in the course of working the land, or sometimes even as a result of dreams and visions. They range from responsible finders, such as the man who found the earliest stone axe ever recovered from mainland Britain, to those who have sought to exploit our precious past for their own gain, such as the 'nighthawks' who raided the Wanborough Roman temple. Illustrated with over 100 images of some of the most spectacular objects and their finders, Treasure is a fascinating insight into the ongoing process of discovering our past.

Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. For archaeologists, the word "treasure" has a rather particular meaning as a legal definition of a certain class of archaeological find. This title gives a brief overview of the "history" of treasure, including origins of the law of Treasure Trove in England and Wales, and the events which led to its revision in 1996. "Finding the Past" includes an examination of the ways in which many objects have come to light: through accidental discovery, metal detecting and construction work and considers the future for treasure finds and raises the questions about who owns the past and who has the right to decide what is done with it. Treasure has a number of meanings in modern parlance. 'Buried treasure' and 'sunken treasure' are concepts which many have grown up with, either through reading books or playing computer games. The combination of precious objects—such as gold and silver or rare gems—and the discovery of these, is the essence of how treasure is perceived by twenty-first-century minds. For archaeologists, however, the word 'treasure' has a rather particular meaning as a legal definition of a certain class of archaeological find. This book investigates the history and meaning of treasure. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.
