Initially conceived as an attempt to disprove the idea that cowrie
shells served as currency during the period of the Hungarian
invasion in the Carpathian basin (10th century AD), this study has
grown into somehting much larger. It collects data for the presence
of cowrie shells as grave goods over a far wider spatial and
chronological range as part of a comparative anthropological study
to determine their various functions, in particular as fertility
amulets, as well as tracing their spread from the Eurasian Steppe
to western Europe during the migration period.
