Greater Manchester and Merseyside are built-up, urban areas, where
the archaeology is often hidden under modern buildings and
developments. There are also rural pockets of land and open spaces
where coins and objects that were lost in the past are brought back
to the surface by the plough. These finds are often rediscovered by
metal detectorists, field walkers, or simply by chance. The objects
then make their way to the Portable Antiquities Scheme, where they
are recorded and plotted in order to help us understand more about
our past. The Roman fort at Manchester, the ancient trading port of
Meols in Wirral, and the more recent industrial past all play a
part in our shared heritage. Objects lost by those who lived and
worked in the region add to our knowledge of this rich and diverse
landscape. Neolithic polished stone axes, Early Medieval inscribed
stones, coins and jewellery reveal how local people lived and
worked. Metalwork from the Bronze Age to the Post-Medieval period
unravels the secrets of areas from the economy, technology and
trade to fashion. 50 Finds from Manchester and Merseyside allows us
to dip into our fascinating history using the objects lost by our
ancestors as our guide.
