Settlements found near the world’s largest Celtic Coin Hot Website

The Journal of Ocean Archaeology reported that a geophysical survey of the world’s largest Iron Age coin ho, discovered on Strait Island in Jersey in 2012, has found evidence of a previously unknown Celtic settlement, a Celtic settlement in the 1st century BC, which is a new information for BC, which is a Jewish, which is a Jewish, who can explain the 110,000 debris of Jewish people. From northern France to scholars believe it is a distant island of population.

Almost all coins belong to the Coriosolitae tribe in the Reims River region of northern Brittany. It is believed that coins about 55 years old were paid in large quantities from 55 BC to combat the invading Roman Julius Caesar. For reasons unknown, they loaded all of these treasures on board, transported them to Jersey and buried them in the mountains.

In the Iron Age, Jersey was the magnet for the hoard of Celtic coins. At least eight of them were found, and completely zero on the adjacent Guernsey Island. Instead, Guernsey buried all Iron Age warriors, ancient shipwrecks and evidence of occupation. The reason for this split is unclear, but scholars assume it has something to do with the Jersey Reef, making the method so dangerous that it avoids the use of ships, making it a good place to bury tens of thousands of coins.

The results of the geophysical survey show that Celtics are more than just the occasional tourists to Jersey.

In a geophysical survey, the team found that linear anomalies spanned dozens of meters, parallel and perpendicular to each other, with some partitions similar to late rural settlements of the Celtics in northern France.

“This may represent a part of a straight-line fence, consistent with rural settlements in the late Iron Age of Armorica,” said Dr. Hervé Duval-Gatignol, an archaeologist at Société Wordiaise.

Small magnetic anomalies suggest pits and rear holes in the building.

The dangerous coast of Jersey and the relatively secluded deterrent effect is an advantage for the navigator to be confident and able to overcome obstacles well.

Dr. Sean Kingsley, Wreckwatch’s editor-in-chief and archaeologist, has explored more than 350 shipwrecks in the past 30 years, said the Celtics were innovative shipyards and sailors: “Caesar attacked Brittany at 56BC, and the sea trade of the Celts is a good machine. Practical knowledge about periods of low and high water levels, shallows, wind, weather and the location of landing sites have long been a generation.

“Given the dangerous shallows of Jersey, Câtillon II ho accumulates on a hiding ship, similar to the ship gold model of the Northern Ireland Broighter. In the first century BCE, the Seacraft was equipped with sails, steering to the stern, pivoting near the stern, and crucially, nine oars on each side, which are the disadvantages of overcoming adverse winds and avoiding reefs. The squat of the boats fixed to a light-colored wood frame with a waterproof cover of leather or leather, a fragile frame, but can be solid, light and flexible, ideal for unpredictable Atlantic Ocean or high waves landing in almost any bay.”

The ruins burying the holocaust may have provided another motivation for Coriosolitae. There is a huge stone tomb in the Stone Age on the top of the mountain. The Celtics often saw places such as sacred, even removed from Neolithic structures for thousands of years, and their religious significance made it more appropriate to bury the tribe’s treasures, as it could have granted protection to other worlds on the basis of the island’s natural topographic defenses.

WreckWatch, an online magazine covering maritime archaeology, history and art, has dedicated all its latest issue to LeCâtillon II Hoard and has produced 115 absolutely tempting content without announcement pages. There are articles about previous hoard finds on Jersey, fantastic first-person accounts of the discovery from the finders of the hoard, including background on how their search was spurred by a 30-year-old shaggy dog ​​story from a local about how she and her father found coins in a jar in the roots of a tree when she was a kid, the thorny legal issues of heritage finds on Jersey which is a Crown dependency, the complexity of removing of a corroded lump of 70,000 coins in a half ton of soil blocks, the complexity of mining and protection in the lab is even greater, over the past five years, the history of Coriosolitae, geophysical surveys of the LeCâtillon site, and more.
