Summary

Roth grew up in Newark, New Jersey, and the city becomes a significant setting in much of his fiction. The incorporation of Newark, its predominantly Jewish Weequahic neighborhood in particular, not only contributes to Roth’s metafictional style, but also plays a central role in the identity and development of protagonists in works such as Goodbye, Columbus, American Pastoral, I Married a Communist, The Human Stain, and Nemesis, among several others.

This paper looks at two previously under-studied artefacts: the Newark and Netherurd Later Iron Age gold torcs. Close analysis of tooling and other attributes has established a relationship between these torcs, which suggests they were possibly manufactured in an area beyond the East Anglian location argued for in previous studies. This paper also explores the possibility they could have been produced by the same maker.
