| dc.description.abstract | The Staffordshire Hoard: An Anglo-Saxon Treasure tells the story of the Staffordshire Hoard’s discovery and acquisition, and the six-year research project that pieced its fragments back together, identified its objects and explored their manufacture. Key chapters discuss the decoration and meaning of the Hoard’s intricate ornament, the techniques of Anglo-Saxon craftsmen, the religious and historical background, and hoarding practice in Britain and Europe, to place this most exceptional find in context. Finally, the text explores the impact that the find has had locally, nationally and internationally in the twenty-first century. | en_US |

| oapen.abstract.otherlanguage | Le Dépôt du Staffordshire est un trésor anglo-saxon exceptionnel qui date des 6e et 7e siècles. Il se compose essentiellement de pieces et de fragments, environ 4 kg d’or et 1,7 kg d’argent, propres à l’équipement des guerriers et d’un petit nombre d’objets clairement chrétiens. Ce trésor, qui fut découvert en 2009 par un détectoriste dans la paroisse civile de Hammerwich (west Midlands), fut acquis conjointement par les villes de Birmingham et Stoke-on-Trent, et repose au Birmingham Museums Trust et au Potteries Museum and Art Gallery. De 2012 à 2018, les propriétaires et Historic England ont financé un programme de recherche majeur afin de pouvoir présenter ce trésor au public aussi rapidement et de manière aussi complète que possible. En résultent ce volume et les ressources numériques associées (https://doi.org/10.5284/1041576) qui comprennent un catalogue complet et les documents de référence. Der Hortfund von Staffordshire ist ein ausergewohnlicher angelsachsischer Schatzfund des sechsten und siebten nachchristlichen Jahrhunderts. Er besteht fast ausschlieslich aus Beschlagen und Fragmenten, ca. 4 kg in Gold und ca. 1,7 kg in Silber, die aus Kriegsausrustungen und einer kleinen Anzahl von eindeutig christlichen Objekten stammen. Im Jahr 2009 von einem Sondenganger in der Gemeinde Hammerwich in den West Midlands entdeckt, wurde er anschliesend gemeinsam von Birmingham und Stoke-on-Trent City Councils erworben und vom Birmingham Museums Trust und The Potteries Museum and Art Gallery verwaltet. In den Jahren von 2012 bis 2018 finanzierten die Eigentumer und Historic England ein umfangreiches Forschungsprogramm, um die Details des Hortfundes schnellstmoglich und vollstandig offentlich zuganglich zu machen. Der vorliegende Band und die zugehorige digitale Ressource (https://doi.org/10.5284/1041576), die einen vollstandigen Katalog und begleitende Auswertungen enthalten, stellen die Ergebnisse dar. | en_US |
