So after Shakespeare and the Kings James Bible era and countless written sources we need to unearth a few coins and trinkets to tell us about life there???

Most written sources give no real sense of how people actually lived. You only get that sense by examining where they lived and the objects they used in daily life.

“Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins[a] and loses one. Doesn’t she light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it?”
