| Abstract: |
Reports the discovery of an unusual hoard including an assemblage of tools, deposited at each end of an assumed grave, located in isolation from any other burials. The area was excavated in a single day because of the threat of treasure hunters. Many objects were lifted en bloc, and there is a report on the subsequent `Conservation of the assemblage' by Robert White (149-53). The iron tools and stock are described, followed by the copper alloy and other metals, glass and organic remains. The hoard is thought to date to circa seventh century and may be associated with a foreign (Frankish) artisan. |
