Making Faces
This paper examines the interplay between representational and non-representational art in later prehistoric Europe, aiming to form a starting point for more detailed and expansive study on this topic. We will approach later prehistoric imagery from an angle that has not been extensively explored, focusing on the deliberate use of ambiguity and the occasional appearance of representational images – particularly human bodies and faces – against a …
Hot Stone Technology at Bucklers Park, Crowthorne, Berkshire
Archaeological investigations at Bucklers Park in Crowthorne have revealed a window onto a significant later prehistoric place, which was used and revisited over 1700 years between the Early Bronze Age and later Iron Age (c. 1800–100 bc ). Activity on site was based around the heating of water using fire-heated flint, producing three mounds of fire-cracked flint and burnt organic material. These ‘burnt mounds’ are known across later prehistoric B…
Art in the Eurasian Iron Age

This paper discusses the outcomes of a project entitled Archaeology with Art: Space, Context, Fabrication and Gesture, which developed out of a session at TAG (Theoretical Archaeology Group) 2013, led by the two authors. This project approaches art in archaeology from a new perspective, arising from recent engagements of archaeologists and anthropologists with art practice as opposed to art history. Bringing together the work of archaeologists an…

This paper will examine weaving combs from G lastonbury L ake V illage, highly decorated objects of antler and bone. By concentrating on the …
