Dataset: De la richesse pour les dieux ... et pour la reproduction sociale : les dépôts non funéraires de l’âge du Bronze en Europe

This database belongs to the PhD thesis « De la richesse pour les dieux… et pour la reproduction sociale. Les dépôts non funéraires de l’âge du Bronze en Europe. » which is focused on the European Bronze Age hoards (2200-800 BC). The thesis is built upon two axes of research: The first one focusing on the content of the hoards (statistical analysis) and the second one on their distribution within the landscape (spatial analysis). With almost 6000 entries, the database constitutes the core of the study. After some filtering, 2776 single finds and 1555 hoards where used in the analysis. The results for the five study regions are compared between each other and then viewed within their regional context, in order to tackle the social implications of the Bronze Age hoards.
