Book synopsis

Treasure has a number of meanings in modern parlance. 'Buried treasure' and 'sunken treasure' are concepts which many have grown up with, either through reading books or playing computer games. The combination of precious objects--such as gold and silver or rare gems--and the discovery of these, is the essence of how treasure is perceived by twenty-first-century minds. For archaeologists, however, the word 'treasure' has a rather particular meaning as a legal definition of a certain class of archaeological find. This book investigates the history and meaning of treasure.
