Chapter2 A Review of the Literature

Introduction

technology, typology, distribution and dating of a large number of artefact groups (Hase Igrove et al 2000).

This chapter provides a brief overview of the studies of artefacts in the British Iron Age. lt considers the great diversity of investigations into artefacts studies and reflects on the general lack of synthesis of their findings. Although this is not an exhaustive review of associated literature, it illustrates the great diversity of artefact studies in the British Iron Age.

Metal Work

Sites that have yielded evidence of iron working illustrate the potential for advancing present knowledge in the techniques and technology used in these activities. Excavations such as Llwyn Bryn-dinas (1989; Musson et al 1992) how we might identify how and where metal production was conducted. The study of metalworking in copper alloy (Musson et al 1992: 277-80), and iron (Crew 1984; I 998; 1991) has received a heightened profile in the past two decades especially in north Wales. The study of copper alloys has demonstrated the potential of analysis of other metals (Northover 1984; Dungworth 1996; Musson et al 1992: 279; Musson & Northover 1989: 15-26). The study of moulds and crucibles is well established (Foster 1980; Bayley 1992; Morris 1997), however, not so well established is the detailed technological examination of objects which is essential to understanding artefacts within their cultural contexts (Haselgrove et al 2000). Over the last twenty years increasing scientific analysis has resulted in important advances in our understanding of iron, bronze, silver and gold working (Warner 1993) during the British Iron Age (e.g., Ehrenreich 1994; Scott: 1991; Northover 1987; Dungworth 1996; Bayley 1998; Crew 1995). Bayley's research on metal work indicates how the gradual accumulation of data can produce excellent results (Haselgrove et al 2000: 22; Bayley 1998). Hingley's (1990) work illustrates the importance of studying individual artefact groups and shows how interpretations can be altered and new avenues of investigation opened through the investigation of deposition, location, and contexts of artefacts. Later work by Hingley (1997) on symbolic aspects of metalworking is a reminder that archaeologists have only a partial view and understanding of the amount of symbolism attached to iron working in the British Tron Age.

Artefacts are objects that have been used, modified or made by people. They include the discarded refuse from the daily activities of human existence such as broken pottery, fragments of metal work, scraps of food or textiles; all of which leave tantalising traces of everyday life in antiquity (Renfrew & Bahn 1996: 45). The study of material culture provides information on many aspects of human activity, including production, technology, contact, exchange and site function (Haselgrove et al 2000). Haselgrove (1999) maintains that there are three levels of craft activity identifiable within the archaeological record during the Iron Age: i.

Output to meet community needs

individual

households

or

ii.

Specialised production for wider distribution

iii.

Luxury goods for the wealthiest sections of society.

However, for the majority of material culture there is little evidence of the sites where they were produced the only tangible evidence we have are the artefacts themselves and these only hint at the scale and scope employed in the manufacture of objects (Haselgrove 1999: 125). Craft production and exchange have dominated artefact-based research in Britain for the last three decades (Morris 1996: 41). In an attempt to understand how production was organised and exchanges made (Cunliffe 1984: 556-9) postulated that hillforts were redistribution centres where local surplus was accumulated and exchanged for extra­ regional raw materials and that this process was organised and under the control of a ruling elite (Morris 1996: 41). Cunliffe's work at Danebury provided an impetus for important analysis (Hill 1995: 52). The excavation and retrieval of large quantities of artefactual, structural and organic data from sites such as Danebury (Cunliffe 1995), Gussage All Saints (Foster 1980; Wainwright & Spratling 1973) and Maiden Castle (Sharples 1991) has led to important research in many sections of artefact studies. However, whilst there have been improvements in may areas of this research we still lack a basic understanding of

Metal Work and Art Styles

Numerous examples of 'Celtic' artwork in Britain are in print (Fox 1958; Jope 2000; Macgregor 1976; Megaw & Megaw 1989) and individual pieces of decorated metal work have received detailed analysis (Stead 1985; 1991; 1998; MacDonald 2000: Manning 1972). However, many categories of artefacts remain under-researched; these include pins (Dunning 1934) and more recently horse bits (Palk 1984) and strap unions (Taylor and Braisford 1985). swords (Piggott 1950), although Ian Stead is working on a corpus of Iron Age Swords at present.
