The correct answer is Option 1 - A.
A) To prevent theft or damage to the objects
Hoards are collections of objects that are deliberately and carefully preserved by people. These objects are often stored inside containers, such as pots, to ensure their protection. Hoards can consist of various items, including jewellery or metal objects that are set aside for future use by metalworkers. If the original owners of the hoard do not retrieve them for any reason, they remain in their resting place until discovered by archaeologists. |
