The Staffordshire Hoard: an Anglo-Saxon Treasure
No full textThe Staffordshire Hoard is a group of primarily gold fragments of the seventh century found by a metal detectorist in the summer of 2009. This collection forms part of the outcome of the project Contextualising Metal-Detected Discoveries: Staffordshire Anglo-Saxon Hoard (Historic England Project 5892). The assessment and analysis project ran between 2011 and 2017. The outcomes were a book - The Staffordshire Hoard: an Anglo-Saxon Treasure edited by C. Fern, T. Dickinson and L. Webster, and published by the Society of Antiquaries of London as part of their research series in 2019, and this digital collection. An initial release of the Staffordshire Hoard Research Reports mainly from Stage 1 of the project (2012-4) together with the Newsletters documenting progress was made in 2017. This 2019 release includes these and all of the material generated during the project
THE ŠKUDLJIVAC HOARD: FURTHER REMARK:S
Full text linkThe author deals with some interesting new facts which have emerged since he reconstructed the composition of the Škudljivac hoard near Stari Grad on the island of Hvar. The hoard contained coins of Herakleia and Pharos and Pharos specimens overstruck by Issa. Three letters by P. Nisiteo - the antiquarian who first wrote about the Škudljivac find - are here used to clarify the discovery\u27s mystery and eliminate any uncertainties as to hoard\u27s content. The author draws two main conclusions: there were no AI emissions in the Škudljivac hoard, but quite a few specimens with IONIO legend

Trash and Aesthetics in the Hoard
No full textTrash and Aesthetics in the Hoard by Charmaine Eddy, Issue 7: The Aesthetics of Trash. This article examines two reality television series, Hoarders and Hoarding: Buried Alive, in terms of a variation in the understanding of the object in relation to value based upon an aesthetic tied to consumer capitalism. Object collection is viewed as a spectacle of abjection in each episode, as items that were once worthy of purchase come to produce a garbage heap within the home. The concept of “trash” is an evaluative category applied to objects over time, but it also becomes part of the therapeutic process, as hoarders are required to dispose of their things. Object-oriented ontology, or “thing theory,” provides an alternate semiology for the object, ultimately illustrating how an evaluative aesthetics of the object in these series is linked to consumer capitalism and normative patterns of consumption
A HOARD FOR CHARON? THE ROMAN IMPERIAL HOARD FROM DESA (DOLJ COUNTY, ROMANIA)
No full textIn 1988, 122 silver denarii ranking from Nero to Commodus were confiscated by authorities from a person who was trying to sale these coins illegally at a local market. Following the study of the message on the coin reverse, the comparative analysis, the author suggests a deliberate selection for hoarding of coins that may have had an eschatological meaning for the individual that had assembled the hoard. Such a hypothesis may suggest that this hoard was not intended to have an economic purpose (e.g. savings, emergency hoard) but a funerary/votive one
