burial date

埋蔵年代 ／ burial-date　—　Research

About when a given hoard was put into the ground.

⚠ The newest coin in a hoard determines the *terminus post quem* (the earliest possible date of deposit). This is because the hoard could have been buried after that date, but not before.

No matter how many older coins are present, this date does not change. One must look at the most recent end of the range.
