Archaeology is understanding people in the past from what they have
left behind. Objects inform us about how people lived, what they
made and the things they did. There has often been a view that
there are no archaeological finds in the North West. However,
through the work of the Portable Antiquities Scheme and the display
of existing museum collections, this traditional view is being
challenged. By looking at objects discovered in Lancashire,
recorded by the Portable Antiquities Scheme, we can demonstrate the
continuity of activity within this county. Lancashire has revealed
the longevity of its past through a range of both functional and
decorative objects. Objects were made and traded from the Copper
Age, through the Bronze Age and into the Iron Age and Roman
periods; the Silverdale Viking Hoard, similar in object types and
period to the Cuerdale Hoard, further demonstrates significant
Early Medieval activity. Meanwhile, Post-Medieval artefacts reveal
long journeys of religious pilgrimage and persecution. 50 Finds
from Lancashire allows us to look at the continuity of our past
using archaeological finds to illustrate what has previously been
hidden away.
