This paper examines one specific hoard horizon, which is connected to the Mongol invasion of Hungary (1241-42). It addresses issues concerning hoard finds and material culture, and examines how finds are related when found in different contexts. By comparing hoards related to a single historical event to a contemporaneous site – containing a village, a church, and a cemetery – assessments can be made regarding how hoards reflect social issues such as stratification, wealth, status, and fashion.
