British Bronze Age artefacts made from copper, bronze, gold, flint,
jet and shale are renowned throughout Europe for their beauty and
exquisite craftsmanship. In England and Wales, many new discoveries
are made each year by members of the public and recorded with the
British Museum's Portable Antiquities Scheme. Recent nationally
important finds include the gold lunula from Tarrant Valley
(Dorset) and the gold and silver striped penannular ring from
Havant (Hampshire). The metalwork hoard from Boughton Malherbe
(Kent) is the third largest metalwork hoard ever discovered in
Britain. Here, Dot Boughton investigates finds and hoards
discovered over the last twenty years and uses them to discuss the
development of the different Bronze Age weapon, tool, vessel and
ornament types from their humble origins to their individual peaks
in the Early, Middle and Late Bronze Age.
