Power Pulses Across a Cultural Divide
Understanding of the nature and significance of connections between Armorica and southern Britain in the Early Bronze Age has been inhibited by poorly refined chronologies. The Armorican grave series is now believed to span seven to eight centuries (c. 2300/2200–1500 BC) and association patterns are used to suggest five assemblages (series 1–5). In the absence of many skeletal remains, structural and organisational evidence is gleaned to suggest …

Selective deposition in the British Early Bronze Age
The contextual and spatial distributions of metalwork in Early Bronze Age Britain make a clear case for the differential use of the various metal equipment available. This paper concentrates on deposition and argues that various depositional modes were intended to be permanent. There is a complex interplay between and within grave contexts, hoards and single finds, with mutual exclusion as a dominant feature. Extant distributions are considered t…
The Late Bronze Age Hoard from Brough-On-Humber
The discovery in 1719, at Brough-on-Humber [North Humberside, SE 93 26], of a hoard of Late Bronze Age weapons and casting matrices is described from contemporary manuscript and printed sources. The subsequent passage of its component artefacts through antiquarian collections is carefully documented, and four pieces are recognized as surviving in the British Museum. These comprise two rare two-piece casting moulds together with one example of eac…
Towards the Reconstitution of the Arreton Hoard
The major Early Bronze Age hoard from Arreton Down in the Isle of Wight was made known to the Society of Antiquaries as early as 1735. Until recently however, half of the hoard had remained unlocated since 1737, when it was drawn by Charles Frederick. His drawings, which appear in the Society's MS 265, have been instrumental in relocating five of the missing bronzes; four of these were found to have acquired false provenances. This paper traces a…
