The majority of Iron Age hoards were often unexcavated or antiquarian finds; the containers were poorly recorded or abandoned leading a relatively small sample surviving. Furthermore, previous studies have focused on the hoard contents, creating typologies and biographies of these groups of objects, with often only a few short sentences on what contained them, which added to this problem.
This paper presents a reassessment of this evidence and will illustrate the diverse manner in which these hoard groups were buried: not just in pottery vessels, but containers in a wide range of other materials. Some of these patterns appear to be chronological - pottery containers were used frequently in the Bronze Age and continued into Early Iron Age hoarding, yet after that there appears to be a break, with relatively little evidence for container usage until the advent of coinage. However, with the introduction of coinage, a more diverse range of materials were used as containers, such as flint nodules, organic materials and bones. A re-examination of this evidence adds to our understanding and identifies regional patterns in the use of certain containers.

Papers will cover a range of diverse topics including the evidence for ‘ritual’ deposition in the Neolithic, Bronze Age and Iron Age, the significance of landscape to Iron Age and Roman hoarding practices, hoarding and status at rural sites in the Romano-British countryside, the Piercebridge Roman river metalwork deposits, Britain and the continent in the 3rd century AD, hoarding inside and outside the Empire in northern Europe during the Roman period, Carausius, Allectus and the British Empire, and hoarding patterns and monetary change.
In addition, on the evening of Friday 11th March, Philip de Jersey will be giving a public lecture on the recent finding and excavation of the large hoard of Iron Age coinage, torcs and other objects on the island of Jersey.
The conference and the evening lecture are all free, but booking is essential, via the British Museum events website.

At IJSRA, we work everyday on a voluntary basis to transform the academic publishing landscape, in our firm belief that authors should not have to pay for publishing, and that making research freely available to a global readership help address growing (academic) inequalities worldwide.
We aim to make an impact through an independent, unaffiliated, open-access student forum, without any submission, publication, or subscription fees.
Therefore, what better time to publish our second issue that in this merry Christmas Eve. We have an amazing variety of contents, including original fieldwork in Botswana, a model for undergraduate skills development, Indo-Greek coinage, heritage legislation in the Philippines, medieval perceptions and attitudes to health, a reassessment of Natufian sedentism, a Big Data cross-cultural analysis, a book review, and reviews of many conferences! We hope you enjoy reading these outstanding examples of student scholarship!
We are now accepting submissions for our third issues; we will be reviewing manuscripts on a rolling basis, so submit when you're ready! Recommended deadline: March 15th
As part of our constant efforts to reach as wide an audience as possible, we are always looking for people with diverse research interests to join our growing international team. If you are committed to improve the presence of excellent student scholarship in archaeology, please do get in touch!
