81. Beneath Our Feet: Everyday Discoveries Reshaping History
Forum

Britain’s rich history isn’t just found in museums – it’s hidden beneath our feet, waiting to be uncovered. This captivating talk will explore how ordinary people, from metal detectorists to mudlarks, are reshaping our understanding of the past through their incredible finds. From ancient coins to lost jewellery, each discovery tells a story of how our ancestors lived, worked, and fought. Join us as Michael Lewis and Ian Richardson delve into the fascinating world of everyday archaeological discoveries. Discover how the Portable Antiquities Scheme is helping to record these treasures and why public involvement in archaeology is more important than ever.
