Every year around 5,000 archaeological objects from Wiltshire are
recorded by the Portable Antiquities Scheme. These finds are made
by members of the public and each object on the database has a
story to tell. Each is a link between us and the past. Every
article was once designed for a purpose, and thought has gone into
its construction. 50 Finds from Wiltshire focuses on the stories
that these objects can reveal, informing us about civil unrest,
wars, religion, trade, the economy, or a unique insight into daily
life. The landscape of Wiltshire has been shaped by of thousands of
years of human activity, and we can see this history through the
archaeology. The lives of those who have shaped the landscape can
be told through what they have left behind. When viewing every
object in its context, its history is revealed. The objects
recorded with the Portable Antiquities Scheme add a new dimension
to our understanding of the past.
