Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Suggests that archaeologists are unwilling to interpret hoards as ritual deposits because this might prejudice their declaration as Treasure Trove. At present in England and Wales the law requires that gold and silver objects were buried with an intention to retrieve them by the original owner. It is also argued that the British Museum's near monopoly of items declared Treasure Trove means that scholarly debate on precious metal hoards is restricted. The article then presents some ideas on the possible significance of votive offerings and religious motivation in hoard deposition during the Roman period. Items from the Hoxne treasure are illustrated. | ||||
