Site comment

Sb 93 is the main area of the Sorte Muld central place in Ibsker parish. The area has to date yielded no less than 16 solidi, more than 300 denarii, two Roman bronze coins, and some dirhams as well as a small number of later coins. Most of the denarii come from the same hoard, which appears to have included at least one solidus. A closer analysis of the coins' wear and corrosion in relation to the exact find spot of each coin remains to be done. It is therefore not possible to give exact figures of the composition of the hoard(s). The area may be divided into three: a (old find), b (recent finds registered as BMR 1191), c (recent finds registered as BMR 2649).
