ORDINARY MEETING OF FELLOWS LECTURE

Shedding new light on an old treasure: Re-examining the Iron Age hoards from Snettisham, Norfolk

by Dr Julia Farley FSA and Dr Jody Joy FSA

Over the past 70 years, astounding discoveries of precious metal objects, including torcs, bracelets and finger rings, have been made at Ken Hill, Snettisham, Norfolk. In total, 14 separate groups of objects, or hoards, dating to the second and first centuries BC have been discovered. Julia Farley and Jody Joy, are currently coordinating a major research project including a comprehensive scientific analysis of the objects and a reassessment of the site. In this talk they will discuss the results of the project, including the discovery of sophisticated metalworking techniques such as surface enrichment and mercury gilding and a comprehensive reassessment of the site and its significance.
