Book cover Prehistoric Gold in Europe

Abstract

This paper shows a hoard of jewels, little known outside Spain, of great importance in the study of the Celtiberian peninsula society. Three characteristics make it an unusual find:

  • It is one of the largest groups of gold and silver found in the Celtiberian area of the Duero river basin, where concealing of jewels and coins is frequent, and it is the one which contains the largest number of gold pieces.

  • It represents a fairly complete range of the forms and techniques which define the gold and silver work of this geographical-cultural sphere.

  • It contributes new data on the use and significance of certain adornments already known.
