Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Reports on the discovery of an unmatched hoard of eight gold ornaments, probably bracelets, found in the Forest of Dean near Lydney, Gloucestershire. These had been packed into three bundles and buried in a pit, probably in the middle Bronze Age. The site was discovered in 2013 at a metal detecting rally, and was subsequently evaluated and then investigated by excavation and geophysical survey. The artefacts have yet to be studied in detail, but where measurable have a diameter the size of a young child's wrist or ankle. Were children to have possessed such wealth it must have been given to them, implying the bracelets would have been acquired from parents or guardians '“ potentially a rare insight into the nature of Bronze Age property ownership.
