The Scottish Iron Age provides rich data of international quality to link into broader, European-wide research questions, such as that from wetlands and the well-preserved and deeply-stratified settlement sites of the Atlantic zone, from crannog sites and from burnt-down buildings. The nature of domestic architecture, the movement of people and resources, the spread of ideas and the impact of Rome are examples of topics that can be explored using Scottish evidence. The period is therefore important for understanding later prehistoric society, both in Scotland and across Europe. There is a long tradition of research on which to build, stretching back to antiquarian work, which represents a considerable archival resource.

While research has continued at Broom, other sites have also been investigated in the valley as part of the English Heritage-managed and ALSF- funded project “Palaeolithic Rivers of South West Britain” (PRoSWeB). This project was completed in March 2007. Since then, research focussing on the Quaternary geology and Palaeolithic archaeology of the southwest region has been continued at selected locations by Prof. Tony Brown (University of Southampton), Dr Laura Basell (University of Oxford) and Dr Phil Toms (University of Gloucestershire), with assistance from Dr Ramues Gallois and Dr Richard Scrivener (formerly British Geological Survey).

  • Harding Hillforts Lang Review Final
    The Prehistoric Society Book Reviews IRON AGE HILLFORTS IN BRITAIN AND BEYOND BY DW HARDING Oxford University Press. 2012. 334pp, 69 illus, incl 16 col and 46 B/W plates. ISBN 978-0-19- 969534-9 hb, £75 For so long, perhaps too long, hillfort studies have been central to research and to our understanding of the British Iron Age. Ever since Christopher Hawkes produced his landmark Antiquity paper in 1931, hillforts have been endlessly discussed in various attempts to categorise, define and interpret their significance in later Prehistoric studies (for example Jesson and Hill 1971; Cunliffe 1975; Forde-Johnston 1976). As a result site reports, articles and books that have outlined, reviewed, analysed and re-interpreted hillforts have dominated Iron Age studies for much of the twentieth century. Thanks to developments in aerial and landscape surveys, widespread geophysical surveys and results from development-led archaeological fieldwork from the 1970s onwards, there has been a change in direction for Iron Age studies and these site types no longer dominate research for this period. Nevertheless, recent research has shed new light and new perspectives on hillforts (for example Champion and Collis 1996; Sharples 2010) and current work place these sites within a wider research framework. There remains no doubt that archaeologists remain obsessed with these sites; partly no doubt due to their dominant (earthwork) presence in the landscape and their size and scale: there’s nothing quite like scaling the monumental earthworks of Maiden Castle or Hambledon Hill (both in Dorset) to make you appreciate them! Perhaps also, these sites have clearly presented opportunities as the testing grounds for archaeologists, as many pre-eminent archaeologists have dug one (or two) in their day.

  • The Archaeology of Britain
    The Archaeology of Britain The Archaeology of Britain is a comprehensive and up-to-date introduction to all the archaeological periods covering Britain from early prehistory to the Industrial Revolution. It provides a one- stop textbook for the entire archaeology of Britain and reflects the most recent developments in archaeology both as a field subject and as an academic discipline. Chapters are: • accessibly written by experts in the relevant field; • organised in chronological order; • followed by two-level bibliographies, the first providing core reading material and the second a more detailed guide to the subject area; • highly illustrated with photographs, maps, graphs and tables. This collection is essential reading for undergraduates in archaeology, and all those interested in British archaeology, history and geography. John Hunter is Professor of Ancient History and Archaeology at the University of Birmingham. He has wide research interests covering heritage management, forensic archaeology and late Iron Age and Viking settlement. His most recent book is Fair Isle: the Archaeology of an Island Community (1996). Ian Ralston is Professor of Archaeology at the University of Edinburgh. His principal archaeological interests lie in the later prehistory of Scotland and in the Iron Age of Western Europe. His most recent publication is, with K.J.Edwards, Scotland: Environment and Archaeology (1997). The Archaeology of Britain An introduction from the Upper Palaeolithic to the Industrial Revolution Edited by John Hunter and Ian Ralston First published 1999 by Routledge 11 New Fetter Lane, London EC4P 4EE Simultaneously published in the USA and Canada by Routledge 29 West 35th Street, New York, NY 10001 Routledge is an imprint of the Tayor & Francis Group.
