Excavations near Guiting Power in the Cotswolds reveal evidence of occupation until the late 4th century AD: a relatively undefended middle Iron Age farmstead was abandoned, followed by a mid to later Iron Age ditched enclosure. This latter site perhaps became dilapidated, with a Romanised farmstead developing over the traditional habitation area.

The 1977-1978 excavation of the Middle Iron Age enclosure at Mingies Ditch and the prehistoric evidence from the 1980 excavation of Smithfield, the adjoining field. It includes a 90-page technical appendix of figures and tables.

Report on 1983-5 excavation of a low-lying gravel site close to the Thames. A mid Iron Age ditched enclosure with four huts, and evidence suggesting horse-breeding rather than arable cultivation is followed, after a break, by Roman period enclosures that initially respect the earlier ditches but later become rectangular; no structures but R-B domestic refuse up to mid 4th century. Later use in Middle Ages. Discussion of the site, finds and environment with all data in readable print; no fiche. Stunning reconstruction on front cover.

Since its first publication in 1971, Barry Cunliffe's monumental survey has established itself as a classic of British archaeology. This fully revised fourth edition maintains the qualities of the earlier editions, whilst taking into account the significant developments that have moulded the discipline in recent years. Barry Cunliffe here incorporates new theoretical approaches, technological advances and a range of new sites and finds, ensuring that Iron Age Communities in Britain remains the definitive guide to the subject.

A fully illustrated study of Iron Age round-houses, which explores not just their architectural aspects but more importantly their role in the social, economic and ritual structure of their communities, and their significance as symbols of Iron Age society in the face of Romanization.

In this volume, Harding examines the deposition of Iron Age human and animal remains in Britain and challenges the assumption that there should have been any regular form of cemetery in prehistory, arguing that the dead were more commonly integrated into settlements of the living than segregated into dedicated cemeteries.

This volume presents the results of the excavation of three Iron Age and Romano-British sites by the Tempvs Reparatvm Project which conducted excavations between 1988 and 1997: Hatford in Oxfordshire, Besthorpe in Nottinghamshire and Eardington in Shropshire.

Neither towns nor villas, the function of Roman road-side settlements has previously been regarded as a mystery. Wilcote, however, has now been thoroughly investigated and Anthony Hands suggests in this publication that it may have functioned as both a watering post for travellers along Akeman Street and as a kind of navvies' encampment for road maintenance (connected with large quarries reported on in this volume). The 1993-1996 finds report contains details of coins, pottery and metal objects of quite high value, compared with the negligible architecture. Do the finds reflect the inhabitants of the settlement or the passing trade? With stimulating commentary on some of the theoretical issues generated by this long running excavation as well as fine illustration of the discoveries, this is an excellent excavation report.
