A silver Hittite pendant was found at Amarna in the "Crock of Gold" hoard. Virtually unnoticed since its publication in 1933, this extraordinary find probably dates to the 18th Dynasty, during the royal occupation of Amarna. Included in the hoard are gold and silver ingots and silver scrap, jewelry and vessels, all of which can reasonably be interpreted as the possessions of a metalsmith. Since, however, the house in which the hoard was found seems to have been in a "slum" and it contained no evidence for industrial activity, the material could have been a robber's loot.
