I've seen all kinds of features that might be considered evidence of hoarding.  You'd be well served if you define your terms.  We found 'bone yards' on farms and ranches that contain old equipment that the owner may or may not recycle into new tools or equipment.  Is that hoarding?  I've seen hoarding in modern contexts defined as a disease but I'm not so sure that in earlier contexts it would be so considered.  Possibly prudent and good judgement.   It will be interesting to see what you come up with.

That would be interesting, I would think hoarding would be a fairly recent phenomena

Has anyone ever excavated a known hoarder's site?  
I mean old, one filled in with dirt?
I've been cleaning out since a friend's death; its very archaeological.
