About this title

Synopsis

Budget volume coming from the 1995 TAG conference session of the same title, with papers borne out of a concern that the study of the British Iron Age is unevenly concerned with Wessex, south-east England and the Thames Valley. The authors seek to redress the balance with the following papers: Here be Dragons! The continuing influence of Roman attitudes to northern Britain (Jane Webster); Nineteenth century legacies (John Collis); Research and regionality: South Yorkshire as an example (Graham Robbins); Welsh Celts or Celtic Wales? The production and consumption of a (not so) different Iron Age (Angela Piccini); Life after Hownam: The Iron Age in south-east Scotland (Ian Armit); Aspects of culture and community in the Iron Age of north-eastern England (Steven Willis); Some thoughts on the later prehistory of the Breamish Valley (Max Adams); Interpreting a middle Iron Age landscape in eastern Yorkshire (Bill Bevan); Ways into the Iron Age and Romano-British cropmark landscapes of the north midlands (Adrian Chadwick); The Iron-Age of North-west England and the Irish Sea Trade (Keith J Matthews); Variation in the size distribution of hillforts in the Welsh Marches and its implication for social organisation (Duncan Jackson); Learning to live in the Iron Age: dwelling and praxis (Melanie Giles and Mike Parker Pearson); The creation of Later Prehistoric landscapes and the context of the reuse of Neolithic and Earlier Bronze Age monuments in Britain and Ireland (Richard Hingley); Iron Age societies in Central Britain: retrospect and prospect (Colin Haselgrove).
