Assessing the Impacts of the Treasure Act on Collecting in English Museums
The influence of the Treasure Act and the wider reporting of metal-detected finds in England and Wales via the Portable Antiquities Scheme on our knowledge of the past has been the focus of much recent discussion and research. The impact of the Treasure Act and more broadly the continuing popularity of metal detecting as a hobby on collecting in English archaeology museums has provoked less attention. Through the example of a collection of metal-…
A Landscape of Well-Being
The process of removing cultural material to museums can augment the “nature–culture divide” by physically separating “culture” from “nature.” In this article, I consider ways of disrupting this artificial divide through the example of a journey through my local park and an examination of the displays and collections at the nearby museum where several items from the park are now housed. By describing locations like my local park more broadly as “…
Who Owns the Dead? Legal and Professional Challenges Facing Human Remains Management in Turkey
The management of archaeological human remains poses numerous ethical and practical challenges for archaeologists and museum personnel throughout the world. While several countries have developed extensive legislation and guidelines to ensure best practice, Turkey has no specific laws concerning the management of archaeological human remains. The current heritage legislation defines all archaeological materials, including human remains, as state …

The Curation and Display of Lindow Man
Lindow Man is one of the best-preserved Iron Age bog bodies from Europe. Since his discovery in August 1984, he has been on almost permanent display to the public and the subject of close scientific scrutiny. This article focuses on the life of Lindow Man since his discovery, charting how his remains have been cared for and interpreted by curators and the public. Lindow Man is very well-known and provides a unique case study of how well-preserved…
A Power to Intrigue? Exploring the ‘Timeless’ Qualities of the So‐called ‘Grotesque’ Iron Age Torc From Snettisham, Norfolk
Sometimes we come across objects that truly intrigue us. Not necessarily because they are great examples of art, or because they are made of precious materials, but because there is some other quality which captures our attention. One of these can be age. Just as age adds character to people’s faces, the patina of an object or visible signs of damage and use instils an object with a certain ‘charisma’ or ‘aura’. This paper examines in detail the …
Feasting and Commensal Rituals
Feasting was an important means of social communication in Iron Age Europe and has been described as a kind of social glue—creating and recreating society by bringing people together to mark important events and ceremonies, through the communal consumption of large quantities of food and drink. This chapter examines the archaeological and literary evidence for Iron Age feasting, focusing in particular on the various social roles of the feast and …
The Oxford Handbook of the European Iron Age
The Oxford Handbook of the European Iron Age presents to students, scholars, and interested general readers a broad overview of current understanding of the archaeology of Europe from 1000 bc to the early historic period. During this period, new technologies, agricultural innovation, and demographic growth saw much of the landscape opened up to near modern limits, accompanied in many areas by greater social and economic complexity. Three introduc…
Hoards as collections
In this article it is argued that past examination of hoards and hoarding has concentrated too much on the moment of deposition to the detriment of the period of collection and accumulation of material that preceded it. An alternative perspective on prehistoric hoarding is proposed that concentrates on the processes by which objects were collected and assembled to form hoards and parallels are drawn with recent research examining how museum colle…

Fire Burn and Cauldron Bubble’
‘A man can live to 50 but a cauldron will live to 100’ – Old Kazakh saying This paper presents a re-examination of Iron Age and early Roman cauldrons, a little studied but important artefact class that have not been considered as a group since the unpublished study of Loughran of 1989. Cauldrons are categorised into two broad types (projecting-bellied and globular) and four groups. New dating evidence is presented, pushing the dating of these cau…
Fancy Objects’ in the British Iron Age
A survey and new perspectives of Celtic or La Tène art from Britain is presented. Following Spratling, Celtic art is defined as ‘ornament or pattern and animal/human/supernatural images in metal and other media’. Regional and temporal variations in the type and usage of decorated artefacts are summarised. Three case studies, made of different media, are presented: metal scabbards, bone and antler weaving combs, and pottery. By asking the question…
