Contexts and Contextualization of Coin Finds. Contextes et contextualisation de trouvailles monétaires — Kontext und Kontextualisierung von Fundmünzen, 2019, 312 p., 30 pl. -
Proceedings of the Sixth International Colloquium of the Swiss Group for the Study of Coin Finds (Geneva, March 5th-7th 2010)
The colloquium aimed to provide a picture of the variety of contexts in which coins are found, as well as the methods that can be used to study and profit from such finds in a variety of circumstances, and the questions to ask of them.
The papers deal with the following subjects:
1. Establishing frameworks on the basis of special and temporal contexts;
2. What different types of stratigraphy can tell us;
3. Circulation areas — coins as a key to understanding economies;
4. Degree of monetisation, and secondary and tertiary uses of ancient coins;
5. The role coins play in specific social and economic contexts, including ritual, offerings, and hoarding;
6. Coins and pottery from stratigraphic contexts in Saint Peter's cathedral in Geneva, studied together.
