Research assessment
statement
Changes in Atlantic hoard formation partly reflect shifts in exchange access, social display, curation and deliberate deposition.chronology test
Deposit peaks and composition changes should track typochronological and supply shifts without requiring a single destruction horizon.geography test
Regional differences in assemblage composition and context should persist within the broader Atlantic network.supporting evidence
Atlantic chronology and archaeometallurgical surveys identify changing deposit rhythms and regional compositions.Evidence and sources
