British Museum's Portable Antiques Scheme Finds Identified III

Materials, Manufacture & Design

Possibly the most comprehensive finds identification book series ever published.

This the third volume in our Finds Identified series, looks at how things were made, the materials used and how design changed from earliest prehistory to the end of the Roman period. It is possible to give only an overview of this immense topic but, hopefully, this will tell the story of human skill and ingenuity.

The book is in hardback A4 format with more than 300 pages featuring 1200 photographs
