The Portable Antiquities Scheme has been recording archaeological
finds from Hampshire since 1999. Since then, the wealth of man-made
discoveries found, from the prehistoric to the post-medieval
period, is rewriting the map of Hampshire as we know it. These
finds tell the story of Hampshire's past, of our past, and showcase
the people who populate this history: they have significance,
whether they be rare objects of precious metal or more common
everyday items; a single isolated loss or a previously unknown
field of finds that reveals habitation where we didn't know of it
before. A silver coin is found with its edge systematically
hammered outwards; a small, decorated lead flask has loops for
suspension; a miniature book is adorned with a Latin inscription.
These items are so much more than they initially appear - they
contain the stories of our ancestors and invite questions of our
perception of the past and indeed the present. The finds in this
book will take us across Hampshire over many thousands of years,
revealing objects from the past and a glimpse of the people who
owned them.
