Description
These fifteen papers came out of the eighth annual meeting of the Iron Age Research Student Seminar (IARSS) and are loosely grouped into three topics: settlement studies, deposition and material culture, and experimental archaeology.
Most of the studies are re-examinings of well known data sets, such as hillforts, small enclosures and bone assemblages, both human and animal.
They are mainly focused on the British Iron Age - one of the most heterogeneous and regionally distinctive periods in British prehistory.
Material culture is highly variable, as are settlement patterns, and even chronology is of an entirely local character, being reliant on typological sequences from each region's specific archaeological record.
The book ends with the recounting of a trip to the Iron Age village at St.
Fagan's, Cardiff - a practical foray into the Iron Age day-to-day.
