Abstract: |
Adopting the substantivist approach of Polanyi, an abstract model of coin circulation and deposition was set up for comparison with the apparent patterns. Gold is a 'primitive valuable' and undergoes ritual deposition, where bronze and even silver are used like 'early cash'. Potin, on the gold network at first, becomes more restricted. All three main periods of coin production depended ultimately on Continental developments, from MPRIA through Aylesford Complex to direct Roman contact, and the Romanizing coinage was instrumental in the Roman annexation. Data collection needs to be more active, rather than reactive and opportunist. Gazetteer of 1960-82 finds. |
