Gold ingots and artefacts were among the items found Researchers will be able to discover more about the secrets of a Viking-age hoard found in a field after receiving a major grant towards a £1 million research project. National Museums Scotland (NMS) will carry out the three-year project, entitled Unwrapping The Galloway Hoard, in partnership with the University of Glasgow to examine the objects in detail. The 10th-century treasure trove, which was found by a metal detectorist in a field in Dumfries and Galloway in 2014 and acquired by NMS in 2017, will go on display in an exhibition next year. The research will involve precise dating of the items and, it is hoped, identification of their places of origin, which are thought to range from Ireland to the Byzantine empire and perhaps beyond.
