Description:Norse Vikings went to areas such as Scotland and Ireland and their presence led to interaction with the native population. This interaction is known from written sources and is characterized by particular material expressions that can be seen in the archaeological record; such as settlements, burials and hoards. During the Viking Age silver hoards were buried in different places around Ireland. They contain combinations of arm-rings, ingots, hack-silver derived from arm-rings or ingots; and different types of coins. Artefacts such as neck-rings and brooches have also been found in hoards. The geographical distribution of hoards varies and the contents differ. The hoards have been studied in terms of chronology and artefact groups but few studies have examined all Viking Age silver hoards together. My aim is thus to discuss the geographical variation and varying contents of the silver hoards in relation to exchange networks and cultural identity in Viking Age Ireland, c. AD 800 to 1169/70. Many hoards have been found in association with settlements while others are non-site- specific. Hoards that have been found in association with settlements can be divided into three groups: 1. Ecclesiastical sites (monasteries and church sites) 2. Secular Irish sites (ring-forts and crannóga) 3. Hiberno-Norse towns and trading settlements The hoards from the different contexts will be compared to examine whether there is a difference between the hoards found in Irish and Hiberno-Norse contexts and at the same time highlight the differences between secular and ecclesiastical Irish hoards. The contents and distribution of the hoards indicate that silver circulated between different sites in Viking Age Ireland: which and what types of sites seem to have been relevant to trade and exchange of silver? Relevant to this are the routes of communication involved. The main focus of the analysis will be economic. However, since there were two distinct ethnic groups present in Ireland in the Viking Age, I am also interested in the social context of the silver artefacts and the exchange of these. The trade in and subsequent use and/or deposition of silver artefacts were elements in the cultural relationship between these to groups.
