| Description | This poster is focused on phenomena that concerns the coin hoards found in vessels in course of La Tene period in the part of middle Danube region (Slovakia, Hungary, eastern Austria). The main questions which are being observed are condition of finding, composition of hoard, shape and size spectre of the vessels, geographical aspect and also the interpretation. In the process of comparation we work with the coin hoards that have different storage pattern (i. e. originally without ceramic or metal vessel). Important part of our work is critacal review of old data. Part of our poster is based on geographical concetration of hoards and it´s interpretation. We chose few examples such as cult site, production site, trading station and restless teritory. First one is based on hilltop hoards. Production site is based on example of Bratislava and Velem-Szentvid. Trading station is based on example of Trenčianské Bohuslavice and restless teritory concerns about destruction horizons in Púchov culture and Bratislava. The dominant aspect of concentration is held on the hoard finds in vessels which were registred on exceeding southwest of Slovakia (Bratislava area) and in the area of Velem-Szentvid. Among the presented coins of audoleontos coins, Biatecs (big Bratislava coins) prevail coinages of Eravisci tribe and coins of Púchov culture. From the point of view of composition, the category of findings is most of all characterized by silver coinage. In vessels there was higher number of coins and drab proportion of coins nominals of lower value. The jewel or ingot just rarely occured in heterogeneous collection. Typological range of vessels is diverse. It includes predominantly pots, also vases and vassels of atypical shapes. Their common feature is relatively little proportions. From the interpretation point it is hard to answer the question of motive clearly but it can be discussed. |
