Not all archaeology is discovered by archaeologists. Eagle-eyed finders may come across stone tools by chance whilst digging in the garden or walking in the hills.

Some people deliberately set out to find them by systematically walking across ploughed fields (with the landowner’s permission of course!) and carefully recording where objects are found.

These tiny finds may seem insignificant but they help build a picture of how prehistoric people used the landscape around them. The hills, valleys, woodlands and rivers would have been their hunting grounds, routeways, meeting spaces, burial places... and home.

This collection was showcased at the 2016 National Eisteddfod as part of Amgueddfa Cymru's contribution to the Lle Hanes stand.
