Findspots and Anatolian Coinhoards

We have developed a database of all hoards either found in Anatolia or containing Anatolian coins, from the seventh through to the first century BC, as recorded in the comprehensive publications the Inventory of Greek Coin Hoards and the ten volumes of Coin Hoards.  The dataset is now integrated within coinhoards.org, a bigger digital resource for the study of Greek coin hoards, hosted by the American Numismatic Society. Some Anatolian hoards published in the 1973 Inventory of Greek Coin Hoards were already published on the site. Finn Conway, CHANGE research assistant, has now linked the coins in these hoards to the ARCH typology (https://greekcoinage.org/arch/). Leah Lazar, CHANGE research associate, has compiled data on around 700 additional hoards listed in the ten volumes of Coin Hoards, supplementing with information from the original publications and archival material. These hoards are now listed in coinhoards.org with CHANGE inventory numbers.Together these datasets will facilitate the detailed analysis of the circulation and use of Anatolian coinages.

The CHANGE Project Site Finds Database  provides basic data on published coins found in archaeological excavations in the region of Anatolia and neighbouring islands, with production dates between c. 700 and 30 BC. This tool is intended to support research into monetary production and circulation in Archaic, Classical and Hellenistic Anatolia.
