Does anyone know of a central source (or sources) of data on Byzantine Bronze hoards

By "detailed," I mean the following at a minimum:
-- Specific location where each hoard was found
-- Approximate date for each hoard (when it was buried)
-- Number of coins by type (SBCV number)

Thanks!

What do you mean by "central source"? A digital database? Printed works?

Thanks for asking.

By "central source," I mean that I'm hoping at least some of the hoard data has been collected into one place that's accessible online.  The next best thing would be to at least have a list of hoard finds with references to where you can get the detailed information (such as books, publications, etc).

Right now there's no online database for hoards or Byzantine coin finds in general. I'm involved in a project directed by Princeton and we hope to have a significant database available for the public in the near future.

In the meantime you can use the following works covering the early Byzantine period:
