Purse
Comment
The position of the coins seems to suggest that they were stacked. Therefore, considering the limited area in which they were found, it seems likely that they had been placed into the ground in some kind of a purse.
Textile traces were identified on coin No. 508924 comprising a single 'S' spun thread of yarn. In the case of the degradation of
fibres, the textile material has been completely replaced by copper corrosion products and the fibres are preserved as negative casts. The micro-morphology of some of these casts can be interpreted as evidence of the presence of ancient wool
fibres, in particular casts of cortical cells that originally made up wool fibres. After a careful cleaning treatment by the conservator to remove the sediment, it has been possible to observe some interesting details of the pseudomorphic structure. The presence of cross-sections of threads along the clearer yarn testifies to the presence of woven cloth in contact with the coin.
