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.

Download Regional Patterns and the Cultural Implications of Late Bronze Age and Iron Age Burial Practices in Britain Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This study investigatespotential regional patterns of Iron Age burial practices and the culturalimplications thereof. It is a literary-based assessment of 100 sites that datebetween the Late Bronze Age and the Late Iron Age, all containing human remains.The study illustrates a temporal relationship with the manner of disposal thatis regionally distinct. It addresses other repeated Iron Age burial themes,such as differential treatment of infants, reuse of earlier monuments, bonesmarking liminal and economic spaces, and deposits adhering to a specificspatial pattern with buildings. It demonstrates that the processing of thecorpse and the spatial context of the human remains deposit are central forunderstanding the community's perception of the bones and, thus, the meaning ofthe deposition. The core concept is that Iron Age communities practised variousritual processes, each with a different purpose, but using the same medium -human remains.

Download Funerary Ritual and Symbolism Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The Finnish people of the late Iron Age left behind several distinct types of cemetery employing disparate funerary rituals and symbolic texts. Comparison of these sites with ethnohistoric data about eschatology, funerary practice and social organization on the one hand and with the preserved oral tradition of pre-Christian myths and heroic tales on the other suggests that the prehistoric Finns were a shamanistic society deeply immersed in a culture of ancestor worship and belief in spirit beings. This work explains the variation in mortuary ritual and defines the beliefs behind the rites. Economic and sociopolitical factors are considered in delineating the proposed development of the pagan Finnish world view. The place of research on prehistoric religion within the general framework of medieval archaeology is discussed, and lines of inquiry by which interdisciplinary studies may enable and enhance our understanding of proto- and prehistoric ideological systems within cultural continuities are suggested.

Download The Earlier Iron Age in Britain and the Near Continent Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The Earlier Iron Age (c. 800-400 BC) has often eluded attention in British Iron Age studies. Traditionally, we have been enticed by the wealth of material from the later part of the millennium and by developments in southern England in particular, culminating in the arrival of the Romans. The result has been a chronological and geographical imbalance, with the Earlier Iron Age often characterised more by what it lacks than what it comprises: for Bronze Age studies it lacks large quantities of bronze, whilst from the perspective of the Later Iron Age it lacks elaborate enclosure. In contrast, the same period on mainland Europe yields a wealth of burial evidence with links to Mediterranean communities and so has not suffered in quite the same way. Gradual acceptance of this problem over the past decade, along with the corpus of new discoveries produced by developer-funded archaeology, now provides us with an opportunity to create a more balanced picture of the Iron Age in Britain as a whole. The twenty-six papers in the book seek to establish what we now know (and do not know) about Earlier Iron Age communities in Britain and their neighbours on the Continent. The authors engage with a variety of current research themes, seeking to characterise the Earlier Iron Age via the topics of landscape, environment, and agriculture; material culture and everyday life; architecture, settlement, and social organisation; and with the issue of transition - looking at how communities of the Late Bronze Age transform into those of the Earlier Iron Age, and how we understand the social changes of the later first millennium BC. Geographically, the book brings together recent research from regional studies covering the full length of Britain, as well as taking us over to Ireland, across the Channel to France, and then over the North Sea to Denmark, the Low Countries, and beyond.
