This article presents information on the search for sunken treasures brought by voyagers in Europe in the 1600s. It was the year 1687, and the 200-ton James and Mary lay berthed at the Royal Dockyard near Greenwich. The hero of the moment was William Phips, captain of the ship, who had brought the treasure home. The cargo was the richest trove of sunken treasure yet recovered and it started a rage for underwater treasure hunting that has continued of and on right up to the present. The odds for today's treasure salvors are somewhat better. Painstaking research into the Archive of the Indies in Seville, the cluttered repository of Spain's colonial trade records, now reveals the names and contents of each ship that went down. The summer before last, Key West treasure diver Mel Fisher came upon the main silver cache of a 550-ton galleon, Nuestra Señora de Atocha, which sank in a hurricane off Florida in 1622. More than half a million ducats' worth left the colonies for Spain in 1543, perhaps three times that much in 1550 and still more in the succeeding years. Just what these values mean today is anyone's guess. The first silver finds occurred when Europe was experiencing a severe cash shortage.

The article recounts the discovery of the grave of a sixth century B.C. woman with treasures at Vix in France, Paris by high school teacher René Joffroy in 1952. It was a tomb such as men had been building from dawn of humanity, a quiet cozy place in the womb of Mother Earth where the distinguished dead could awake to a second life surrounded by objects that had helped make the first one pleasant. The diggers expected to find a warrior prince surrounded by arms and trophies of war. Instead, they found the skeleton of a woman. She had been buried on a four-wheeled chariot. It was too short for her to lie down. Her head, half-encircled by a golden diadem, had broken off and rolled behind the chariot. Around the body was all the finery in which the woman had been decked, bracelets and ankle rings and beads and fasteners, of bronze and gold and coral and amber and schist. She had died surrounded by luxury objects from all over the ancient world. The tomb at Vix can be dated to the last quarter of the sixth century B.C. with a good deal of precision, both because of an Attic drinking bowl done in a style that can be dated from 530 to 520 and from the pins and fasteners which held together the lady's garments.
