Politics and Power
Reconstruction of Iron Age social and political structures relies initially on written sources, but classical texts are both biased in how they describe institutions, especially among other peoples, and patchy in time and space. From the mid-first millennium BC, we get details on how polities such as Athens, Sparta, and Rome functioned, but these are not representative of other Greek and Italian peoples, let alone non-Mediterranean societies. The…
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…

Hallstatt culture
In the nineteenth century prehistorians developed a chronological framework for the periods preceding the advent of written records, starting with Christian Thomsen's based on technology, the Ages of Stone, Bronze, and Iron.
La Tène
The site of La Tène was discovered in the 1850s when the Swiss lakes were artificially lowered, but it was also excavated in the 1860s and 1908.

The European Iron Age
This ambitious study documents the underlying features which link the civilizations of the Mediterranean - Phoenician, Greek, Etruscan and Roman - and the Iron Age cultures of central Europe, traditionally associated with the Celts. It deals with the social, economic and cultural interaction in the first millennium BC which culminated in the Roman Empire.The book has three principle themes: the spread of iron-working from its origins in Anatolia …

What do we teach? What do we know? A methodology for describing archaeological skills and knowledge
I recommend that we should move to a flexible, modular system, in describing courses and training, in defining the skills needed to operate as archaeologists and professional career structures, and in describing ourselves as archaeologists. A 'Thesaurus' of skills and knowledge can be constructed, with levels of expertise, which will give us a simple and flexible tool for describing the range of activities necessary to the profession. Two or thre…

Towards a national training scheme for England and the United Kingdom
Archaeology in Britain is going through one of its periodic 'crises', but for once it is not a crisis of funding, but one rather brought on by success, with more money, more posts and more archaeology. Much of the new money emanates from Developer Funding; PPG-16 (DoE 1990), brought out by the Department of the Environment in the wake of a European Directive on the need to conserve the historic environment, requires developers, where possible, to…
Celtic myths
In ANTIQUITY a year ago, Vincent & Ruth Megaw found a useful parallel between the multiple definitions of the ancient Celts, as it can be seen from varied sources, and the several ways an individual's ethnic identity is seen and defined in the contemporary world. Here the other view is stated: that the methodology and interpretations advocated by the Megaws are both false and dangerous
Celtes, culture, contacts
Les objets de métal laténiens trouvés sur les sites du sud de la France, comme Ensérune, sont souvent expliqués comme une influence "celtique" venue du nord. Cet article suggère que le concept d'influence "laténienne", sans même parler d'influence celtique, induit en erreur, que la base théorique de cette nomenclature est inacceptable et peut entraîner une mauvaise interprétation des faits

Les pratiques funéraires en Auvergne à la fin du second Age du Fer
This article considers the funerary practices of the late La Tène period in Auvergne, with special reference to some Clermont-Ferrand "Pontcharaud ", recently discovered by rescue excavation. The evidence considered comes almost exclusively from the periphery of the Clermont-Ferrand area. The most remarkable feature is the persistence of inhumation into La Tène D ; the twelve complete funeral deposits also allowed some observations to be made on …

Functional and theoretical interpretations of British coinage
The introduction of coinage into Britain is first considered, and interpreted not as the invasion of new groups of people, but as the introduction and spread of a new idea along already existing social channels. Secondly it is suggested that the earliest inscribed coinage was not issued by kings with a territorial basis, and so not susceptible to political interpretation. Thirdly the evidence for the impact and spread of a moneyed market economy …

Iron Age Coin Moulds from France
Analyses of recent finds of ‘coin moulds’ from Levroux (Indre) and Aulnat (Puy-de-Dôme), France, confirm that these objects were used for casting globules of gold and silver. Though quantitatively the majority of recorded finds come from defended oppida, more than half the sites to produce ‘coin moulds’ are open settlements, suggesting coin production was not centralised, at least in the second century BC
Aulnat and Urbanization in France
The excavations at Aulnat-Gandaillat are producing evidence of the pre-urban settlement system belonging to the last centuries B.C. The agricultural settlement was also engaged in industry, including the working of bronze, iron, gold, silver, glass, bone and possibly other substances such as coral. It is also providing us with the most refined chronology yet available from a La Tène settlement, and also with details of the development of trade wi…

Excavations at Aulnat, Clermont Ferrand

Early Medieval Bone Spoons from Winchester
Winchester has produced six bone spatulate spoons decorated with Ringerike–Winchester style engravings which are, in some cases, dated by their contexts to the eleventh century. The range of motifs and the style of execution suggest they are the work of an individual craftsman. They form part of a sequence of spoons spanning the period from the late Roman to the thirteenth century, but unlike the examples in more precious substances, which have p…

Manching reviewed
Even before Manching first graced the pages of ANTIQUITY it had achieved the status of a key-site in the prehistory of Europe. The small La Téne B-C cemeteries of Steinbichel and Hundsrücken, the latter within the area enclosed by the ramparts of the later oppidum, have become the type-sites for their period in Southern Germany, but more important they could be seen to overlap chronologically in La Téne C with the beginning of the Late La Téne se…

A typology of coin distributions
Supporters of the ‘historical paradigm’ for interpreting pre‐Roman British coinage still have not answered basic criticisms that neither their initial assumptions nor their results are capable of testing. Likewise use of distribution maps is simplistic, and fails to take into account the differing types of coin distributions. A number of different find patterns are suggested for discussion, reflecting different types of coin usage for administrat…

The Prehistoric and Medieval Field Archaeology of Crownhill Down, Dartmoor, England
Dartmoor, a granite massif in SW England, boasts the most completely preserved landscape of the 2nd millennium B.C. in Europe, with numerous burial cairns, houses, enclosures, fields, and territorial boundaries surviving. Systematic mapping of these remains has been in progress in the last decade, mainly by the University of Sheffield. This paper describes a low-lying area of moorland partially threatened by tungsten mining. The prehistoric field…
