Description: | A Hoard of 9 Iron Age staters, addendum to 2010 T646 and 2011 T105.The coins consist of one gold and 8 silver uninscribed staters of types associated with the Durotriges, a people thought to have inhabited an area covering the modern county of Dorset, parts of Somerset, Wiltshire and Hampshire and the Isle of Wight during the late Iron Age. The gold coin is of the type ABC 746 / VA 1205 / BMC 35 produced in the early to mid first century BC (about 80 to 60 BC). The silver coins are of two types, ABC 2157 / VA 1235 / BMC 2525 ff and ABC 2163 / VA 1246 / BMC 2647 produced about 60 to 20 BC. The coins were not cleaned before identification, consequently it was not possible to attribute some of the silver staters to one of these two types as surface detail was obscured by corrosion products. Two of the silver staters are incomplete.ABC= Cottam et al.
