Lincolnshire is a diverse county. Its landscape ranges from Chalk Wold
to Limestone plateau, to Fen and Coastal Marsh. The archaeology
contained within it is equally dramatic, with thousands of years of
history still visible across the countryside. Artefacts are an important
part of this resource, though many of them now lie within the
ploughsoil. Since 2003, over 75,000 discoveries from Lincolnshire have
been reported to the Portable Antiquities Scheme. 50 Finds From
Lincolnshire charts some of the most intriguing and enigmatic objects
discovered by the public, and illustrates how these finds add to our
knowledge of the past. Adam Daubney is the Lincolnshire Finds Liaison
Officer for the Portable Antiquities Scheme. He has been recording
archaeological objects in Lincolnshire for over fifteen years, and has a
particular interest in Roman Britain and the rural landscape. Adam has a
PhD from the University of Leicester, in which he explored the
significance of multi-period artefact scatters in Lincolnshire.
