The recovery of hundreds of 7th–8th century objects from a field in Staffordshire filled the newspapers when it was announced by the Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS) at a press conference on 24 September.

  • The Coins from the Vale of York Viking Hoard: Preliminary Report
    09 Articles and Notes 1671 6/2/09 11:51 Page 228 228 SHORT ARTICLES AND NOTES THE COINS FROM THE VALE OF YORK VIKING HOARD: PRELIMINARY REPORT GARETH WILLIAMS IN January 2007, metal detectorists Andrew and David Whelan discovered the most impor- tant Viking hoard in England since the Cuerdale Hoard (tpq c.905–10) in 1840. The precise identity of the findspot is being protected at the request of the finders and landowner, and the name Vale of York Viking Hoard has been selected to avoid confusion with other hoards in the region. The hoard attracted substantial publicity when it came to inquest in July 2007, at which point it was still known as the Harrogate Area Hoard, as it was found within the juris- diction of Harrogate Coroner’s District. The hoard was declared to be Treasure on 18 July 2007. It is intended that the hoard should be acquired jointly by the British Museum and the York Museums Trust, but at the time of writing the Treasure valuation has not been com- pleted, so the future disposition of the hoard is not yet certain. Full cleaning and conserva- tion will not be carried out until the hoard is acquired, and the detailed study of the hoard will begin then, but the hoard has generated so much interest that it seems appropriate to make available a listing of the coins in the hoard, together with some initial comments. Overview of the hoard The hoard is in many respects a typical mixed Viking hoard of the early tenth century, con- taining intact jewellery, ingots and hack-silver, as well as 617 coins.

  • Lincoln in the Viking Age: a 'Town' in Context
    Lincoln in the Viking Age: A 'Town' in Context Aleida Tessa Ten Harke! A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Archaeology, University of Sheffield March 2010 Volume 1 Paginated blank pages are scanned as found in original thesis No information • • • IS missing ABSTRACT This thesis investigates the development of Lincoln in the period c. 870-1000 AD. Traditional approaches to urban settlements often focus on chronology, and treat towns in isolation from their surrounding regions. Taking Lincoln as a case study, this PhD research, in contrast, analyses the identities of the settlement and its inhabitants from a regional perspective, focusing on the historic region of Lindsey, and places it in the context of the Scandinavian settlement. Developing an integrated and interdisciplinary approach that can be applied to datasets from different regions and time periods, this thesis analyses four categories of material culture - funerary deposits, coinage, metalwork and pottery - each of which occur in significant numbers inside and outside Lincoln. Chapter 1 summarises previous work on late Anglo-Saxon towns and introduces the approach adopted in this thesis. Chapter 2 provides a discussion of Lincoln's development during the Anglo-Saxon period, and introduces the datasets. Highlighting problems encountered during past investigations, this chapter also discusses the main methodological considerations relevant to the wide range of different categories of material culture that stand central to this thesis, which are retrieved through a combination of intrusive and non-intrusive methods under varying circumstances. Chapters 3-6 focus on funerary deposits, coinage, metalwork and pottery respectively, through analysis of distribution patterns and the impact of changes in production processes on the identity of Lincoln and its inhabitants.

Once again the numismatic content of the talks was very widely spread. We heard about the almost ‘odd ball’ provincial coinage of Roman Egypt, Graeco-Roman in style and denomination, often with ancient Egypt reverse types, the product of a country that was not a proper Roman province but more the Emperor’s private fiefdom. A major contribution was on the almost legendary Brussels hoard, often spoken of in awe as being held in Baldwin’s basement until some brave and knowledgeable soul could face examining it in detail and publishing it. The Club was entranced to hear the full story of the hoard and the subsequent work on it that led to a definitive publication.

  • Viking: Rediscover the Legend
    Highlights from Viking: Rediscover the Legend A British Museum and York Museums Trust Partnership Exhibition at Norwich Castle Museum & Art Gallery 9 February to 8 September 2019 1.The Cuerdale Hoard Buried Circa 904AD Made up of more than 8,600 items including silver coins, English and Carolingian jewellery, hacksilver and ingots, the Cuerdale Hoard is one of the largest Viking hoards ever found. The bulk of the hoard is housed at the British Museum. It was discovered on 15 May 1840 on the southern bank of a bend of the River Ribble, in an area called Cuerdale near to Preston, in Lancashire. It is four times in size and weight than any other in the UK and second only to the Spillings Hoard found on Gotland, Sweden. The hoard is thought to have been buried between 903 and 910 AD, following the expulsion of Vikings from Dublin in 902. The area of discovery was a popular Viking route between the Irish Sea and York. Experts believe it was a war chest belonging to Irish Norse exiles intending to reoccupy Dublin from the Ribble Estuary. 2. The Vale of York Hoard Buried 927–928AD The Vale of York Viking Hoard is one of the most significant Viking discoveries ever made in Britain. The size and quality of the material in the hoard is remarkable, making it the most important find of its type in Britain for over 150 years. Comprising 617 coins and almost 70 pieces of jewellery, hack silver and ingots, all contained with a silver-gilt cup; it tells fascinating stories about life across the Viking world.
