Conflict in the Lake District: The Attack on Ambleside Roman Fort
Lead sling bullets ( glandes ) have been found for over a century at and around the Roman fort in Ambleside (Lake District). The glandes , together with the discovery of a remarkable inscription on a tombstone from the site, suggest the possibility of a conflict scenario. This article summarises the previous evidence and presents the results from a new research project that comprised two fieldwork campaigns (2021 and 2023) in the environs of the …
Crossing boundaries ancient and modern: Methodological considerations on approaching multi-scalar landscape and settlement research in Northern Britain
A significant challenge facing archaeological research today is how to deal with the very large volume and diversity of existing data, together with the range of archives and other sources from which to access them. Another issue is how to best combine data collected for a range of purposes, with new custom-collated data, in order to answer current research questions. This article discusses these issues in the context of the Leverhulme-funded pro…

Were the Oppida Sustainable? Examining the Persistence and Provisioning of Late Iron Age Agglomerations in Temperate Europe
During the last two centuries bc , large fortified settlements known as oppida developed across extensive parts of temperate Europe, from France to Hungary and from Spain to Britain. Due to their significant size and socio-economic roles, the oppida — or at least most of them — have traditionally been identified as the first towns of pre-Roman temperate Europe. However, research over the last few decades has shown that urban centres had already d…
Archaeological Perspectives on Urban Sustainability: Issues and Reflections
This introductory article reviews some of the main issues associated with questions of urban sustainability and their archaeological analysis. Cities are at the centre of discussions around sustainability in our modern world, particularly in relation to climate change. Looking at the past can show how varieties of urban settlements have persisted and failed, which can inform ways to deal with current challenges. However, this is not a straightfor…
Ceramic Production and Geodiversity in Iron Age Iberia: An Archaeometric Study of Pottery from Castrejón de Capote (SW Spain)
The hillfort of Castrejón de Capote is one of the best investigated settlements of Late Iron Age southwest Iberia. Located in the territory that the classical sources attributed to the Celtici , it was occupied between the early 4th and the 1st centuries bce . The excavations from the 1980s and 1990s have brought to light an extensive and diverse ceramic assemblage, including hand‐made and wheel‐made pottery, elaborate incense burners, spindle‐wh…

The Life and Death of Ancient Cities: A Natural History
The Archaeology of Early Cities: What Is the City but the People
The archaeology of early urbanism is a growing and dynamic field of research, which has benefited in recent years from numerous advances at both a theoretical and a methodological level. Scholars are increasingly acknowledging that premodern urbanization was a much more diverse phenomenon than traditionally thought, with alternative forms of urbanism now identified in numerous parts of the world. In this article, we review recent developments, fo…
Technological dynamics of Early Iron Age ceramics from the Heuneburg (SW Germany): A synthesis of 50 years of research
This paper addresses technological dynamics revealed through raw material analyses of Late Hallstatt (seventh-fifth centuries BCE) ceramics from the famous Heuneburg site (Herbertingen-Hundersingen, SW Germany). The study combines, for the first time, separate sets of thin-sections produced over the last 50 years in order to provide a comprehensive and consolidated characterisation of technological changes in ceramic production taking place at th…
Conflict Archaeology, Historical Memory, and the Experience of War: Beyond the Battlefield
From Sanctuaries to Towns: The Role of Religion in Early Urbanization
Bringing the Country to Town: ‘Rurban’ Landscapes in Iron Age Europe
Research on Iron Age agglomerations has a long tradition, but only recently have the environs of these temperate European central places begun to attract greater attention. Expanding the focus from site cores to their wider landscapes challenges the traditional dichotomies of rural and urban. This can also be observed in the internal structure of many complexes, which, despite their complexity and manifold functions, often included rural-like set…
A Precarious Future: Reflections from a Survey of Early Career Researchers in Archaeology
This article presents the results of a 2021 international online survey of 419 early career researchers in archaeology. Respondents were passionate about pursuing an academic career, but pessimistic about job and career prospects. Statistics highlight specific obstacles, especially for women, from unstable employment to inequitable practices, and a chronic lack of support. Over 180 open-ended comments reveal worrying levels of workplace bullying …
Beyond Walls: Reassessing Iron Age and Roman Encounters in Northern Britain
Northern Britain is one of a few areas in Western Europe over which the Roman Empire did not establish full control. In order to reassess the impact of Rome in this northernmost frontier, the new Leverhulme-funded project Beyond Walls is analysing the long-term transformation of settlement patterns in an area extending from south of Hadrian's Wall to north of the Antonine Wall. The results of a pilot study around Burnswark hillfort demonstrate th…
Power from below in Premodern Societies: The Dynamics of Political Complexity in the Archaeological Record
Power from Below in the Archaeological Record: Trends and Trajectories
In 1856, a young Edward Burnett Tylor spent six months in Mexico investigating the Toltec civilization with antiquarian Henry Christy, and many of his later and profoundly influential notions about “culture” and “civilization” were formed there. In his report on a trip to the pyramids of Teotihuacan he notes: “As has often been remarked, such buildings as these can only be raised under peculiar social conditions. The ruler must be a despotic sove…
Invisible Burials” and Fragmentation Practices in Iron Age Europe: Excavations at the Monte Bernorio Necropolis (Northern Spain)
The scarcity of burial remains in large parts of Iron Age Europe, particularly in the Atlantic regions, has often led scholars to discuss the apparent “invisibility” of graves. This paper presents the results from several excavation campaigns at Monte Bernorio, one of the most important sites of the 1st millennium b.c. on the Iberian Peninsula. The fieldwork and post-excavation work carried out in the area of the necropolis have identified numero…
Posthumanism, New Humanism and Beyond
In this paper, we analyse some of the issues associated with the posthumanist rejection of Humanism. First, we discuss some of the possibilities and challenges that New Materialism and the Ontological Turn have brought into archaeology in terms of understanding past ontologies and decolonizing archaeological thought. Then, focusing on the concept of agency, we reflect on how its use by some posthumanist authors risks turning it into an empty sign…
Posthumanism in Archaeology: An Introduction
Posthumanism is a growing field of interdisciplinary study that has emerged, principally in the last 20 years, as a broad church which seeks to reconceptualize human beings’ relationships with the world. At its heart, Posthumanism seeks to destabilize and question the category of ‘human’, which it sees as having previously been treated as transcendent and ahistorical. In its place, the figure of the posthuman aims to capture the complex and situa…

Conflict on the Northern Front: Archaeological Perspectives on the Spanish Civil War at Monte Bernorio, Palencia, Spain
The archaeology of the Spanish Civil War (1936–39) has experienced an important development over the last two decades. Several field projects have studied aspects such as mass graves, forced labor camps, and battlefields. In this paper, we present a case study from the so-called “Northern Front” ( Frente Norte ). The impressive mountain of Monte Bernorio, situated at the foothills of the Cantabrian Mountains, controls one of the main communicatio…
The dark side of the Empire: Roman expansionism between object agency and predatory regime
This debate piece offers a critique of some recent 'new materialist' approaches and their application to Roman expansionism, particularly those positing that the study of 'Romanisation' should be about 'understanding objects in motion'-a perspective that carries important political and ethical implications. Here, the authors introduce the alternative notion of a 'predatory' political economy for conceptualising Late Republican and Early Imperial …

Rethinking Early Iron Age urbanisation in Central Europe: The Heuneburg site and its archaeological environment
The Heuneburg on the Upper Danube has been one of the best-known archaeological sites of Early Iron Age Europe since the first excavations of the 1950s. Fieldwork carried out during recent years, however, has radically changed our accepted understanding of what was clearly a central place of supra-regional importance. In addition to the three-hectare hilltop fortification with its famous mudbrick wall, an outer settlement some 100ha in extent has…
Urbanization in Iron Age Europe: Trajectories, Patterns, and Social Dynamics
The development of the first urban centers is one of the most fundamental phenomena in the history of temperate Europe. New research demonstrates that the earliest cities developed north of the Alps between the sixth and fifth centuries BC as a consequence of processes of demographic growth, hierarchization, and centralization that have their roots in the immediately preceding period. However, this was an ephemeral urban phenomenon, which was fol…
Reassessing the Oppida: The Role of Power and Religion
For a long time, the origins and development of Late Iron Age oppida were viewed from predominantly economic perspectives and as dependent on contacts with the Mediterranean world. However, advances in research in recent decades make it necessary to qualify and reassess many of the traditional interpretations of the genesis and functions of these centres, one of the most striking phenomena of the last two centuries BC . This article emphasizes th…

The Politics of Identity: Late Iron Age Sanctuaries in the Rhineland
The Late Iron Age in the Rhineland area was a period of intensive social change, manifested in the development of a hierarchical system of sanctuaries. This paper discusses the social implications of this development, thereby emphasizing the role of regional and supraregional cult places as key-sites in the construction of politicized ethnic identities and associated power networks. Moreover, some interesting spatial and temporal patterns can be …

Internal conflict in Iron Age Europe: Methodological Challenges and Possible Scenarios
Although the nuanced and complex nature of conflict in pre-literate societies like those documented in the West-Central European Iron Age before the arrival of the Romans has been acknowledged for some time, distinguishing between different types of violent interaction almost exclusively on the basis of material remains has been a challenge. The motivations and conditions for external vs. internal conflict have been even more difficult to identif…
Revisiting Iron Age Ethnicity
The possibility of exploring ethnic identities in past societies constitutes one of the most controversial fields of archaeological research. However, the reassessment of the conceptualization of ethnicity in the human sciences and the increasing transference of these theories to archaeological research is helping to develop new analytical frameworks for the study of this problematic subject. From this perspective, the aim of this paper is to att…

Reconsidering Urbanisation in Late Iron Age North-western Iberia: The Oppidum of San Cibrán de Las (Galicia, Spain)
Neue Forschungen stellen die traditionelle Datierung der Oppida auf der nordwestlichen Iberischen Halbinsel während der römischen Zeit in Frage. Es zeigt sich, dass zahlreiche dieser Plätze schon im späten 2. und 1. Jh. v. Chr. entstanden. Das Oppidum von San Cibrán de Las kann für diese Diskussion eine Schlüsselrolle einnehmen. Die großflächigen Ausgrabungen der letzten Jahre erbrachten umfangreiche Informationen zur inneren Struktur des Ortes, …

From the Bronze Age to the Roman Conquest: The Oppidum of Monte Bernorio (Northern Spain)
The northern regions of the Iberian Peninsula have traditionally been excluded in international debates on Iron Age urbanisation. However, the hillforts and oppida of the Cantabrian area show considerable similarities to the situation found in wide parts of Temperate Europe during the 1st millennium bc . One of the most important centres is the oppidum of Monte Bernorio, which was occupied between the Late Bronze Age and the Roman Conquest. This …

Las comunidades medievales de villa y tierra: Una analogía válida para la Protohistoria Final
Los mecanismos sociales que articularon las sociedades de la Edad del Hierro siguen siendo difíciles de comprender. En las últimas décadas, los modelos piramidales tradicionales han sido cuestionados por varios autores que abogan por la diversidad de las sociedades de la Edad del Hierro y la heterogeneidad de formas potenciales de configuración social. Crucial para la mayoría de los debates es el uso de analogías, con algunos autores que favorece…

Una nueva mirada sobre los "oppida" de la Europa Templada
The development of the oppida, large Late Iron Age agglomerations, is one of the most notable phenomena of European Protohistory, and also one of the most studied. However, the research of recent decades currently offers us a new insight into their origin, characteristics and functions. In addition to purely economic aspects, recent studies emphasize the important political and religious role played by these centres. Similarly, the discovery of a…

Archaeological narratives in ethnicity studies
In order to study ethnicity through Archaeology, the first challenge is to fully understand what that form of identity is and how it works. In recent years scholars have started to overcome the ‘introduction to ethnicity’ syndrome —whereby recent anthropological developments are acknowledged and then disregarded when carrying out the analysis—, shedding light on new perspectives which enlighten our understanding of ethnic identity. In this paper,…

As conflict archaeology has matured as a discipline, there have been calls for more unified analytical techniques. Several researchers advocate the adoption of codified analytical and planning concepts used by the United States Army. One of these concepts, KOCOA Terrain Analysis, shows promise as a locational and analytical aid in archaeological contexts. Defining terrain features are identified and categorized according to well-defined terminolo…
