Changing perspectives on the first millennium BC - Iron Age Research Student Seminar

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.
