Cheers Robert, I only had seen one of those three reports. Very interesting stuff. Weapons, metal work, tools. I'd love to see a nice votadinian impression, there is definatly quality stuff to do with the Traprain assemblage.
Still nothing about the hoard unfortunately.
I did google it compulsively. There are nice pictures from other part of the hoard, I got also one picture of the belt from the old NMS website which Ill upload when I go home. There seems to have been a conference about the hoard and its context a couple of years ago, no proceedings out yet, and not more about the belt.
Edit:
That article http://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/cata...18_226.pdf has a nice inventory of metal objets found at Traprain, save for the hoard.
