DESCRIPTION:The Salisbury Hoard is an assemblage comprised of over 500 Bro
 nze and Iron Age objects\, deposited c. 200-100 B.C.E. Objects found in th
 e hoard\, a single deposition event\, span a 2000 year period\, and includ
 e typologies (such as miniature shields\, moustaches\, and miniature cauld
 rons) which are exceedingly rare in Britain. However\, due to the sensatio
 nal nature of the hoard's discovery by illegal metal detectors\, and the e
 nsuing public trial\, the archaeological implications of the hoard have of
 ten been overshadowed by the detective story associated with it. One of th
 e aims of the current project was therefore to study the hoard in order to
  further our knowledge of Bronze and Iron Age Britain\, as the hoard is no
 t only a unique example of hoarding practices from Iron Age Wiltshire\, bu
 t has many implications as to how Iron Age people viewed their own history
  and 'ancient' objects.
