Viking-age silver in north-west England: hoards and single finds
- Abstract:
- Silver hoards of Scandinavian character are arguably the most important archaeological source for Viking activity in the North West. They give a clear impression of the vast pools of silver wealth acquired by the Vikings through plunder and exchange, but why were they concealed in the first place?, What they reveal about the uses of silver in Viking society?, And, what can they tell us about Scandinavian activity and settlement in north-west England more broadly? In this chapter, I aim to address such questions by examining the hoards’ contents and location, as well as their relationship with single finds from the region.
