Identification Book Archaeology Volume 7.

Neck rings are among the most magnificent types of archaeological finds. They are made of bronze, silver or gold, are elaborately manufactured and richly decorated. In prehistoric times, they were worn by selected men, women and children, representing the status and dignity of the wearer and distinguishing him within his society.

Neck rings have existed in Central Europe since the beginning of the Bronze Age around 2200 B.C. They can be found until the Migration Period around 500 A.D., and among the people living near the Baltic Sea even as late as the 10th and 11th centuries.

In this volume 7 of the Bestimmungsbuch Archäologie series, the individual typical forms are presented, described and illustrated. In addition, there are details on the dating and distribution of the forms as well as further information.
