Suggested move

[edit]

I suggest we move this article to Peebles Hoard with a lead sentence:

The "Peebles Hoard" is a Bronze Age hoard found near Peebles, Scotland; as of 10 August 2020 no name for it has been announced. It was discovered in June 2020 by Mariusz Stepein, a 44-year-old metal detectoris, and the find was announced on 10 August 2020.

What about it? PamD 09:52, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Now we have written the fair use image template for Mariusz, it is fine by me- you are the expert. ClemRutter (talk) 12:05, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I'm no expert on fair use images apart from logos and book/journal covers, but have moved the article and tweaked it appropriately. PamD 14:08, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've asked this question at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Archaeology, but then thought I should also ask here.

The numerous press articles in the last couple of days about what we are for now calling the Peebles Hoard all say that it includes a rare rattle pendant.

Quote from the Belfast Telegraph ref:

"Evidence of a decorative “rattle pendant” from the harness was also discovered – the first one to be found in Scotland and only the third in the UK."

So it obviously seems to be a tightly-defined thing. I can't find anything on a google search which would help to identify just what this is, to create either an article or a linked sourced subsection within an existing article. Can an archaeology expert with a shelf-full of books help out here perhaps? Where were the other two in the UK found? PamD 07:45, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
