Hoards in Ancient Anatolia A Statistical Overview

Hoards in Ancient Anatolia c. 630–30 bc. A Statistical Overview has been published  in the Proceedings of the XVI International Numismatic Congress, 11–16.09.2022, Warsaw, Vol. I: Greek Numismatics. It offers  a preliminary statistical analysis of coin hoards in ancient Anatolia from the invention of coinage in the region until the end of the Roman Republican period, c. 630 to 30 bc. The CHANGE Project has created a database of Anatolian hoards, now made publicly available at www.coinhoards.org. Using this novel dataset, the paper examines high-level trends in hoarding behaviour by chronology, geography, material and hoard size, revealing links between big-picture historical developments and the economic activity of individuals, and highlighting directions for future analysis.
