  • The Iron Age Tom Moore
    The Iron Age Tom Moore INTRODUCfiON In the twenty years since Alan Saville's (1984) review of the Iron Age in Gloucestershire much has happened in Iron-Age archaeology, both in the region and beyond.1 Saville's paper marked an important point in Iron-Age studies in Gloucestershire and was matched by an increasing level of research both regionally and nationally. The mid 1980s saw a number of discussions of the Iron Age in the county, including those by Cunliffe (1984b) and Darvill (1987), whilst reviews were conducted for Avon (Burrow 1987) and Somerset (Cunliffe 1982). At the same time significant advances and developments in British Iron-Age studies as a whole had a direct impact on how the period was viewed in the region. Richard Hingley's (1984) examination of the Iron-Age landscapes of Oxfordshire suggested a division between more integrated unenclosed communities in the Upper Thames Valley and isolated enclosure communities on the Cotswold uplands, arguing for very different social systems in the two areas. In contrast, Barry Cunliffe' s model ( 1984a; 1991 ), based on his work at Danebury, Hampshire, suggested a hierarchical Iron-Age society centred on hillforts directly influencing how hillforts and social organisation in the Cotswolds have been understood (Darvill1987; Saville 1984). Together these studies have set the agenda for how the 1st millennium BC in the region is regarded and their influence can be felt in more recent syntheses (e.g. Clarke 1993). Since 1984, however, our perception of Iron-Age societies has been radically altered. In particular, the role of hillforts as central places at the top of a hierarchical settlement pattern has been substantially challenged (Hill 1996).

  • Settlement Hierarchy and Social Change in Southern Britain in the Iron Age
    SETTLEMENT HIERARCHY AND SOCIAL CHANGE IN SOUTHERN BRITAIN IN THE IRON AGE BARRY CUNLIFFE The paper explores aspects of the social and economie development of southern Britain in the pre-Roman Iron Age. A distinct territoriality can be recognized in some areas extending over many centuries. A major distinction can be made between the Central Southern area, dominated by strongly defended hillforts, and the Eastern area where hillforts are rare. It is argued that these contrasts, which reflect differences in socio-economic structure, may have been caused by population pressures in the centre south. Contrasts with north western Europe are noted and reference is made to further changes caused by the advance of Rome. Introduction North western zone The last two decades has seen an intensification Northern zone in the study of the Iron Age in southern Britain. South western zone Until the early 1960s most excavation effort had been focussed on the chaiklands of Wessex, but Central southern zone recent programmes of fieid-wori< and excava­ Eastern zone tion in the South Midlands (in particuiar Oxfordshire and Northamptonshire) and in East Angiia (the Fen margin and Essex) have begun to redress the Wessex-centred balance of our discussions while at the same time emphasizing the social and economie difference between eastern England (broadly the tcrritory depen- dent upon the rivers tlowing into the southern part of the North Sea) and the central southern are which surrounds it (i.e. Wessex, the Cots- wolds and the Welsh Borderland. It is upon these two broad regions that our discussions below wil! be centred.

  • Archaeology of Bredon Hill and the Carrant Valley
    Archaeology of Bredon Hill and the Carrant Valley The archaeology of Bredon Hill and the Carrant Valley is probably the wealthiest in Worcestershire. It has long been a focus for archaeological work as the map below shows. Many of these discoveries have been associated with quarrying for sand and gravel alongside the Carrant Brook. The fertile and well-drained land has attracted local communities for a long period of time, first as gatherers and hunters, and later as farmers. Prehistoric evidence includes: . Palaeolithic handaxes and other stone tools from Aston Mill Quarry and Beckford Quarry, . Mesolithic flints from Aston Mill Quarry, Huntsman's Quarry in Kemerton and from Beckford Quarry, . A small Neolithic henge (hengiform) at Westmancote, . Late Neolithic ring-ditches - the ploughed out remains of barrows – at Aston Mill Quarry and Huntsman's Quarry, Kemerton . Beaker burials on Bredon Hill, . Beaker pits and extensive evidence for Late Bronze Age settlement at Huntsman's Quarry, Kemerton, . Iron Age hillforts at Kemerton Camp, Conderton Camp and possibly at Elmley Castle, . Iron Age farmsteads south-west of Kemerton village, at Aston Mill Quarry, and at Beckford Quarry. Romano-British evidence includes: . Farmsteads at Kemerton, Aston Mill, Beckford and Ashton-under-Hill, . A wealthy farmstead (perhaps a villa) and other closely-spaced settlements at Nettlebeds, Elmont Field and Overbury Wood in Conderton and Overbury. Anglo-Saxon evidence includes: . Cemeteries at Beckford, . Settlements at Kemerton Water Treatment Works and Aston Mill Quarry. .

  • Iron Age Hillforts Survey (Northamptonshire): Second Stage Investigations: Iss
    Iron Age Hillforts Survey (Northamptonshire): Second Stage Investigations: Iss. 2, Mar-2016 Iron Age Hillforts Survey (Northamptonshire): Analysis of the Individual Hillfort Reports Synopsis: In the autumn of 2013, CLASP undertook to assist national teams working to compile an “Atlas of British Iron Age Hillforts” (jointly led by focus groups of senior archaeologists at the universities of Oxford and Edinburgh), by carrying out surveys of all known prehistoric hillforts in Northamptonshire. The results of these Northamptonshire surveys naturally feed forward into the national hillforts survey – but in addition, the CLASP team has recognised that the results for Northamptonshire are themselves capable of interpretation and analysis on a local basis. Resulting from this detailed research on each of the individual sites, it gradually became clear that it would be instructive to carry out further analytical investigations. This paper therefore aims to explore, analyse and summarise such of these investigations as could be carried out by desktop analysis and study of the individual survey reports. Five ‘metrics’ are first identified, by which the hillforts can be assessed; and case-study analysis is then applied to selected groups of the hilforts, incorporating a great deal of further data drawn from the wider landscape area around the hillforts, in order to study the ways in which the five metrics apply to each of the selected groups of forts. As a result, it has been possible to form certain conclusions, and to advance some theories about the site groupings and their functions and possible interactions. The CLASP team involved in this study is as follows: G.W.

  • Excavations of the Castle Ditch, Eddisbury, 1935-38
    EXCAVATIONS OF THE CASTLE DITCH, EDDISBURY, 1935-1938 COMMUNICATED BY PROFESSOR W. J. VARLEY, M.A., D.PHIL, F.S.A. PREFATORY NOTE HE excavations of which this report is a long overdue account, Twere undertaken in three successive seasons in the Long Vaca­ tions of 1936-7-8 under the auspices of "The Bickerton Camp Scheme." As its name implied, this began in connection with my excavations at Maiden Castle, Bickerton, 1932-35, which had followed the suggestion of Professor C. F. C. Hawkes, M.A., F.B.A., then of the British Museum, that I should embark upon the systematic excavation of the hill-forts of Cheshire, with a view to determining their relationship to the great chain of hill-forts in the Welsh Marches. I began work on Maiden Castle with the voluntary help of a half-dozen of my own students from the Depart­ ment of Geography in the University of Liverpool, but the experi­ ence of the first season showed that it was not feasible to attempt worth-while excavations of hill-forts with such a small labour force. The idea occurred to me that I might obtain recruits from the members of the clubs for unemployed being run by the Liverpool Occupational Centres Committee. The idea commended itself to Mr. Harold King, M.A., then Warden of Liverpool University Settlement, and Mr. Marwood, then Secretary of the Occupational Centres Committee, whereupon we formed an executive committee to launch the scheme, thereafter known as the Bickerton Camp Scheme. The essence of it was that volunteers from the clubs of the Occupational Centres Committee gave their labour to me from 8.30 a.m.

  • Whence This Severance of the Head?”: the Osteology and Archaeology of Human Decapitation in Britain
    UNIVERSITY OF WINCHESTER FACULTY OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES “Whence this Severance of the Head?”: The Osteology and Archaeology of Human Decapitation in Britain KATIE TUCKER Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy January 2012 UNIVERSITY OF WINCHESTER ABSTRACT FACULTY OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES Doctor of Philosophy “Whence this Severance of the Head?”: The Osteology and Archaeology of Human Decapitation in Britain Katie Tucker Decapitation burials (burials in which the cranium and mandible are displaced from correct anatomical position and replaced elsewhere in the grave) are a relatively common minority burial practice in Romano-British cemeteries. They have usually been ascribed to a post-mortem funerary ritual with various different motives being postulated. However, these interpretations seem to have largely been based on assumption rather than evidence from the archaeological context or the human remains, only small numbers of which have been subjected to detailed skeletal analysis. Decapitated burials are also found in the early medieval period, and, conversely, these are normally concluded to be the victims of judicial execution, an interpretation that is only very rarely used when discussing Romano-British examples. This thesis examines the archaeological and osteological data from a large sample of Romano- British decapitated burials and compares them with the wider Romano-British cemetery population, in order to better understand the differences between decapitated individuals and the rest of the population, in terms of burial practice, demographics, and ante-mortem health status. The evidence for decapitation in the Neolithic, Bronze and Iron Ages, early medieval, medieval and post-medieval periods was also examined, with the analysis of samples of decapitated individuals being undertaken where possible, in order to provide comparanda for the Romano- British examples, and assess whether there is any evidence for continuity in the practice between the periods.

  • The Glosarch/Cleeve Common Trust Self-Guided Archaeological Walk Around Cleeve Common
    The GlosArch/Cleeve Common Trust self-guided archaeological walk around Cleeve Common. Cleeve Common, the highest point on the Cotswold escarpment, looks over the Severn Valley towards the Malvern Hills and the Forest of Dean to the west, with the Welsh hills beyond. Cleeve Common covers over 500 hectares (1300 acres), the largest area of Common land in Gloucestershire and its boundaries have survived largely intact for 1000 years. Evidence of human activity on Cleeve Common can be traced back some 6000 years, with flint scatters and at least one possible Neolithic long barrow. There are also traces of Bronze Age (2450-650 BCE) occupation, and the large hilltop enclosure on nearby Nottingham Hill was probably constructed in the Late Bronze Age, around 800 BCE. As we shall see, the bulk of the evidence of prehistoric occupation dates to the Iron Age (650BCE-43AD) with sites on the hill and below the escarpment. No Roman remains have so far been found on the Common, but excavations at nearby Haymes in the 1980s by Bernard and Barbara Rawes found evidence of occupation between the 2nd and 4th centuries AD. In addition, Cleeve Common shows archaeological evidence of Medieval and post-Medieval industry, farming and recreation. This walk takes you around many of the key sites on Cleeve Common. The walk starts at the Quarry Car Park (*). The car park is reached by the lane off the B4632 from Prestbury to Winchcombe, which is signposted to the golf club. Pass through the gate at the top of the lane and turn left into the car park.
