Warfare and Violence
The assumption that warfare was endemic to prehistoric societies was based in part upon classical references to the Gauls, notoriously aggressive, drunken, boastful headhunters, the so-called ‘Celtic paradigm’. An alternative view, characterized as the ‘pacification of prehistory’, and derived ultimately from the eighteenth-century idealization of the noble savage, saw prehistoric societies as peaceful and egalitarian farming communities. The arc…
Defining the Agenda
The ‘facts’ of history do not speak for themselves. The dataset is determined by what questions we ask, which change according to generational fashion. Its value is also determined by the standards of recovery and recording. These have changed with improvements in technology, but also as a consequence with a quantum shift brought about by commercial development on a large scale, and the expansion of popular interest. British archaeology tradition…
Romanization
Defining Romanization is problematical, not least because there was no uniform concept throughout the empire of what it meant to be ‘Roman’. Assessments from the early twentieth century, when the term was introduced, automatically included a value judgement that Romanization of native communities was a good thing, and something that they would have aspired to. This was based largely on the colonialist viewpoint of classical scholars of the late V…
The Iron Age in Lowland Britain
This book was written at a time when the older conventional diffusionist view of prehistory, largely associated with the work of V. Gordon Childe, was under rigorous scrutiny from British prehistorians, who still nevertheless regarded the ‘Arras’ culture of eastern Yorkshire and the ‘Belgic’ cemeteries of south-eastern Britain as the product of immigrants from continental Europe. Sympathetic to the idea of population mobility as one mechanism for…

The iron age round-house
The Archaeology of Celtic Art
More wide ranging, both geographically and chronologically, than any previous study, this well-illustrated book offers a new definition of Celtic art. Tempering the much-adopted art-historical approach, D.W. Harding argues for a broader definition of Celtic art and views it within a much wider archaeological context. He re-asserts ancient Celtic identity after a decade of deconstruction in English-language archaeology. Harding argues that there w…
Redefining the Northern British Iron Age
Unlike Southern Britain, the Iron Age in Northern Britain spans two millennia from the introduction of iron technology to the Norse settlements. Northern Britain is divided into a series of geographical and archaeological regions, including for the pre‐Roman Earlier Iron Age the whole of aceramic and non‐coin‐using northern England. Despite a wealth of settlement evidence, the Earlier Iron Age lacks diagnostic material assemblages, even in the ce…
Ruth and Vincent Megaw Early Celtic Art in Britain and Ireland
Later Prehistory in South‐East Scotland
This paper reviews the progress of research over the past twenty years, with particular reference to enclosed and unenclosed settlement, agricultural patterns, domestic structural types and burial practices of the Iron Age in the south‐eastern Borders. The concept of a ‘trend towards enclosure’ in the first millennium BC is reviewed and rejected, not least on the grounds of evidence from excavation for the dating sequences of major enclosed sites…
Crannogs and Island Duns
A recent paper, Islets through Time (OJA 17, 2, 227‐‐44) , by Jon Henderson highlighted the fact that the majority of dated crannogs were occupied in the later prehistoric or early historic period, and offered a new classification of artificial islets. This paper addresses consequential issues of definition and classification and urges that artificial islets, whether classed hitherto as crannogs or island duns, should be seen as complementary ele…

The Cambridge Ancient History
Volume VI of the new edition of The Cambridge Ancient History begins with Sparta attempting to consolidate its leadership of mainland Greece and ends with the death of Alexander the Great after he had conquered the Persian Empire and marched far into India. It is correspondingly wide-ranging in its treatment of the politics and economy, not only of old Greece, but of the Near East and the western Mediterranean. The century also saw the continued …

The Iron Age in the Upper Thames Basin
The Iron Age and Anglo-Saxon Site at Upton, Northants
The Iron Age and Anglo-Saxon site at Upton near Northampton was excavated by Mr. Jackson on behalf of the Ministry of Public Building and Works, July—December 1965. In addition to Iron Age pits and ditches the principal discovery was that of a timber Saxon building which is remarkable for its combination of the structural features of a Grubenhaus with the dimensions and plan of a small timber hall. The building contained more than sixty loom-weig…
