Obviously there is everything to be done still with the Iron Age hoards from Snettisham, but it is important to note that the Roman hoard found there in 1985, also in the BM, and referred to in the short lead paragraph, will need to have its own, separate article, because although it is a lot less impressive than the Iron Age collection, it is a manufacturer's hoard, and as such, is of very high importance.
I haven't edited anything on the page, but I query the statement about the Thetford hoard as possible evidence of a tradition of precious-metal manufacturing in the region. This is because it is not possible to prove that any of the Thetford gold or silver objects were made in Norfolk. They might have been, but that's all. AgTigress ( talk) 19:10, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
