The Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS) has been diligently recording nearly 1.5 million objects discovered in England and Wales since 1997. The majority of these remarkable finds have been unearthed by enthusiastic members of the public, rather than professional archaeologists. Among these treasures, there are over 10,000 early medieval coins, each with its own captivating story to tell. From their minting, usage, and eventual loss to their eventual recovery and documentation, these coins offer a unique window into the Anglo-Saxon world.
In this captivating book, Dr. John Naylor, the PAS's National Finds Adviser for Early Medieval and Later Coinage, takes us on a journey through the Anglo-Saxon world, exploring the development of coinage from the end of Roman Britain to the Norman Conquest of 1066. Through the lens of these coin finds, he delves into the ways in which early medieval people utilized them in various aspects of their lives, including trading, self-identity, and even burial practices.
Moreover, Dr. Naylor showcases the versatility of these coins by examining their design and iconography, shedding light on how the Anglo-Saxons perceived themselves. He reveals how they were repurposed as items of jewelry and how they played a role in diverse and fascinating contexts, such as burials and hoards.
The Portable Antiquities Scheme's remarkable records and the insights provided by Dr. Naylor in this book offer a profound understanding of the Anglo-Saxon era and its rich cultural heritage. It is a testament to the power of citizen science and the importance of preserving and studying our shared history.
