“…Since the first studies on hoards, in the second half of the 19th century, this bipolar classification -utilitarian vs. ritual hoards -has given rise to many interpretative problems and prolonged debates and discussions among researchers, proving that this approach is too paradigmatic and schematic to explain an archaeological evidence as complex as prehistoric hoards are: in fact, it is nowadays generally accepted that a hoard can no longer be viewed in terms of utilitarian or votive deposition and new and stimulating alternative perspectives have been adopted (Fontijn, 2002;Gosden and Marshall, 1999;Kopytoff, 1986;Osborne, 2004;Whitley, 2002;York, 2002).…”

“…Many studies concern deposition of weapons, wealth, or status objects in religious contexts, which for many decades in Europe were classified by type rather than the context of the finds (Osborne 2004), creating a void in the study of where, how, and why they were deposited. Much research addresses ritual disposal of offerings in water or bogs, but sometimes on land, which may be related to afterlife beliefs or to the presentation of the objects to the gods or ancestors (Bradley 1988(Bradley , 1990Cool 2000;Crawford 2004;Hedeager 1999;Pitts 2005;Woodward and Woodward 2004).…”

“…(for discussion about terminology see, e.g., Osborne 2004;Garrow 2012;Oras 2012), are one of the find groups which often involve the use of the terms 'sacrifice' and 'offering'. This group of archaeological material is a widespread phenomenon with a long-term history.…”
