The presence of Roman Age artefacts as grave‑goods in Early Medieval cemeteries is not a particul... more The presence of Roman Age artefacts as grave‑goods in Early Medieval cemeteries is not a particularly rare phenomenon either in Transylvania or in Western and Central Europe. However, especially in the case of the Carpathian Basin, this aspect has not yet benefited of large‑scale research. In this paper, the authors succinctly present 17 Roman objects, among them eight coins, found in 11 graves of the Avar Age necropolis at Noşlac, Alba County. Among these some, like the openwork mount, the lunula‑shaped pendant and a lorica squamata scale, show a clear military character; while others (two fragmentary brooches, two small bells, a spatula (?) handle and an engraved gemstone) are more of a civilian nature. Besides giving a short presentation of the Roman objects found in the graves, the paper also discusses the wider spectrum of general interpretation possibilities of such “antiquities” or “archaika” in the Early Medieval period.

These proceedings capture the breadth of research presented and we are delighted to include contributions from students/ early career researchers through to those well-established in their respective fields. Hoarding and deposition is a dynamic field of study and encompasses a complex range of practices. As such, a key advantage of approaching this topic from a broader geographic and chronological scope is that key themes across time and space can be observed and the impact of new discoveries can be set in their wider contexts. For this reason, the volume has been split into three sections:
– New discoveries: casting fresh light on depositional prac tices;
– Deposition in wet contexts;
– Hoarding and deposition: process, meaning and practice.
Each section includes examples of case studies from different periods across Europe, which we hope illustrates similarities and differences that emerged. The volume concludes with an invited contribution from Richard Bradley who succinctly highlights the long-term nature of depositional practices, which stretch even beyond the scope of these proceedings.
Research into hoarding and deposition has long captured the imagination of archaeologists and a key aim of the confe rence was to demonstrate the vibrant state of this topic and the new directions it is going in. While editing the contributions it became clear that our understanding continues to widen and change with every new approach taken, much like deposition itself.
