This study examines Middle–Late Bronze Age (c. 1750–600 BC) domestic settlement patterns in Ireland. The results reveal a distinct rise in the visibility, and a rapid adaption, of domestic architecture, which seems to have occurred earlier in Ireland than elsewhere in western and northern Europe.

The Social Context of Technology explores non-ferrous metalworking in Britain and Ireland during the Bronze and Iron Ages (c. 2500 BC to 1st century AD). Bronze-working dominates the evidence, though the crafting of other non-ferrous metals – including gold, silver, tin and lead – is also considered. Metalwork has long played a central role in accounts of European later prehistory. Metals were important for making functional tools, and elaborate decorated objects that were symbols of prestige. Metalwork could be treated in special or ritualised ways, by being accumulated in large hoards or placed in rivers or bogs. But who made these objects? Prehistoric smiths have been portrayed by some as prosaic technicians, and by others as mystical figures akin to magicians. They have been seen both as independent, travelling ‘entrepreneurs’, and as the dependents of elite patrons. Hitherto, these competing models have not been tested through a comprehensive assessment of the archaeological evidence for metalworking. This volume fills that gap, with analysis focused on metalworking tools and waste, such as crucibles, moulds, casting debris and smithing implements. The find contexts of these objects are examined, both to identify places where metalworking occurred, and to investigate the cultural practices behind the deposition of metalworking debris. The key questions are: what was the social context of this craft, and what was its ideological significance? How did this vary regionally and change over time? As well as elucidating a key aspect of later prehistoric life in Britain and Ireland, this important examination by leading scholars contributes to broader debates on material culture and the social role of craft.

Die europäische Bronzezeit (ca. 2200 bis 800 v. Chr.) ist gekennzeichnet von Deponierungen metallener Artefakte in ganz unterschiedlichen Zusammenstellungen und Zuständen. Die absichtliche Niederlegung erfolgte meist an auffälligen Orten, vor allem an Gewässern. Die Zwecke dieser Handlungen wurden und werden in der archäologischen Forschung kontrovers interpretiert, wobei das Spektrum der Vorschläge von versteckten Schätzen in Krisenzeiten über verborgene Lager von Handwerkern und Händlern bis zu rituellen Gaben an übermenschliche Wesenheiten reicht. Tobias Mörtz stellt eine spezifische Gruppe dieser sogenannten Horte systematisch vor und diskutiert deren Deutung in einem größeren kulturwissenschaftlichen Kontext. Auf der Basis eigener Untersuchungen an den originalen Artefakten werden an Lanzenspitzen und Schwertern aus Frankreich, Großbritannien und Irland Gebrauchs- und Zerstörungsspuren identifiziert, die eine Verwendung während gewalttätiger Auseinandersetzungen und eine daran anschließende, mutwillige Unbrauchbarmachung durch Biegen, Brechen, Zerkleinern und Verbrennen anzeigen. Die abschließende Verbergung in Feuchtgebieten und Flüssen schloss ein Wiederholen aus. Handelte es sich also um Opfer nach kriegerischen Ereignissen? Welche Rolle spielte Gewalt in der späten Bronzezeit? Sollten die Rituale auch deren Eingrenzung dienen?

Sited at the furthest limits of the Neolithic revolution and standing at the confluence of the two great sea routes of prehistory, Britain and Ireland are distinct from continental Europe for much of the prehistoric sequence. In this landmark 2007 study - the first significant survey of the archaeology of Britain and Ireland for twenty years - Richard Bradley offers an interpretation of the unique archaeological record of these islands based on a wealth of current and largely unpublished data. Bradley surveys the entire archaeological sequence over a 4,000 year period, from the adoption of agriculture in the Neolithic period to the discovery of Britain and Ireland by travellers from the Mediterranean during the later pre-Roman Iron Age. Significantly, this is the first modern account to treat Britain and Ireland on equal terms, offering a detailed interpretation of the prehistory of both islands.

Explores South-West England’s development from the Iron Age through medieval times, focusing on Ipplepen. This book explores the distinctive landscape and society of South-West England that had emerged by the Iron Age and which continued to develop during the Roman and medieval periods. A focus of the research was the long-term programme of survey and excavation on the Iron Age, Roman, and early medieval settlement at Dainton Elms Cross, in Ipplepen (Devon), which included the only Roman roadside settlement to have seen extensive excavation to the south and west of Exeter on the very edge of the Roman empire, as well as a substantial early medieval cemetery. First discovered through the reporting of an unusual concentration of Roman finds to the Portable Antiquities Scheme, the site was investigated through a joint university and community project led by the University of Exeter in partnership with the British Museum/PAS, Devon County Council, and Cotswold Archaeology. What for the South-West of England was exceptional preservation meant that large amounts of animal bone, charred cereals, and human remains were preserved, alongside a regionally important material culture assemblage. The site – which had been occupied for c. 1200 years – was abandoned around the 8th century AD. A programme of documentary, place-name, and historic landscape research across a study area extending from the coast up onto Dartmoor explores the context of this major landscape change, which appears to have been associated with the appearance of hamlets and open fields, and the fragmentation of an ‘early folk territory’. Together, the excavations in Ipplepen and the wider contextual research reveal how communities living in South-West England developed a distinctive identity that reflects a well-developed understanding of their region’s natural environment alongside a degree of ambivalence to outside cultural influences.
