Is the Piercebridge assemblage a military votive deposit?

Journal article

Over the past twenty years, an assemblage of approximately 5,400 Roman objects has been recovered from the bed of the River Tees at Piercebridge, County Durham. The objects were discovered during campaigns of amateur archaeological survey by two divers from the Northern Archaeological Group, a local archaeological society. They were reported to the Portable Antiquities Scheme in 20031 and are currently being processed as potential Treasure under the Treasure Act 1997.
