This paper examines the evidence available for a distinct form of burial in Iron Age Europe, of which an increasing number of examples are known: seated inhumations. These inhumations have long been recognized on the continent; however, recent excavations, revealing specific details surrounding individual burials, have enriched our understanding of them. Moreover, new discoveries, combined with a review of the published literature, suggest that the rite was also practised in Britain. This paper highlights the particular characteristics observed in such burials, explores their possible social role, and considers how such burials may fit into the ever‐expanding mortuary dataset for the pre‐Roman La Tène period (c.500–20 bc / ad 43)
