Abstract:		 The recovery in 2000 of a lead canister and a penny of Henry III on a site in Colchester, close to the find spots of two other similar vessels both containing thirteenth-century hoards, leads to the suggestion that these were floor safes. The container found in 2000 may have held a third such hoard, or may also have been used as a floor safe. The site has connections with the Colchester Jewry who were probably the principal agents in the handling of money and deposition of hoards on this site. Includes
