GALLOWAY HOARD: VIKING AGE TREASURE (NMS)

A cache of over 100 gold, silver and other items, the richest collection of rare and unique Viking-age objects ever found in Britain or Ireland, was unearthed by a metal detectorist in 2014. Having lain undiscovered since the beginning of the 10th century, it now provides an extremely rare opportunity to research and reveal many lost aspects of the Viking Age. This book places the hoard in a wider historical context and showcases the conservation and research work currently being undertaken to understand the hoard and its secrets.
