*NEW TITLE - PUBLISHED NOVEMBER 2022*
This beautiful new A4 Hardback book looks at the artefacts from the period leading up to the end of Roman rule in Britain. The early chapters seek to understand what was happening in Britain at that time, while the second part looks in detail at examples of brooches, buckles, belt fittings and spurs that have been dated to that period. The end of Roman Britain continues to fascinate
and this publication uses many artefacts found by detectorists to make an important contribution to our
knowledge.
Lavishly illustrated with colour photographs, together with 40 distribution maps, Roman Brooches and Buckles provides new information on typologies, the dates
when the objects were made and their distributions. It will be of
interest to metal detectorists and specialists alike.
Richard Henry is a finds specialist who has worked for the Portable
Antiquities Scheme as the Finds Liaison Officer for Wiltshire,
for Historic England and as a museum curator. He has published books
and articles on Roman archaeology, material culture, coinage and
hoards.

FINDS IDENTIFIED
An illustrated guide to metal detecting and archaeological finds
This beautiful book is possibly the most comprehensive finds identification book ever published.
The Team at the British Museum and the Portable Antiquities Scheme have spent years collating, identifying and photographing finds from the Stone Age through to the 20th century, and for the first time, this book pulls together a selection of the most interesting items in one beautiful volume. Lavishly illustrated with thousands of photographs, this book not only helps to identify the artefacts but puts them in context and offers detailed information on each object.
This book is organised on a thematic basis with similar types of objects being placed together, rather than separated by period. This will allow readers to see how object types changed over time with the introduction of new materials, techniques and styles.
