Magnificently illustrated, Britain's Secret Treasures is an official British Museum companion to the ITV series, celebrating extraordinary artefacts found by ordinary members of the public and the secret histories they've revealed. Every year, hundreds of valuable artefacts are discovered by ordinary members of the public. From hoards of Roman gold to tiny Viking spindle whorls, thousands of years of life in Britain are represented in these lost treasures. By exploring how these treasures were created, handled, discarded, and ultimately rediscovered, Britain's Secret Treasures reveals our ancestors lives and beliefs on an intimate, personal scale.
