Abstract
This report covers the ancient and early Byzantine coins found at the Butrint Foundation's excavations of the Triconch Palace (Butrint / Buthrotum Albania) in the 1990s-early 2000s. The British Museum was represented on the excavations by Sam Moorhead, Richard Abdy and Pippa Pearce MBE (who carried out much conservation). The report presents quite an original use of combined numismatic and archaeological data to discuss the longevity of coins in circulation and the knotty problem of dating archaeological contexts with numismatic material.
