Abstract

Coins provided from reliable and well identified archaeological contexts must be privileged, even though coin finds deprived of a determined context should not be disregarded. Context may assume several forms, the most significant being a location in a stratigraphic level that has not been disturbed. Other contexts may be informative, such as closed environments, let even open ones with no stratigraphic relations, or contexts related to the composition of grouped deposits. Obviously, careful study of each find context is indispensable to dating, seriating and locating Celtic coins, mostly deprived of textual indications. On the other hand, the discovery of Celtic coins in certain environments enable to define and precise for a given period the function of a given archaeological context and that of the relevant site.
