Introduction

The Later Prehistory of Northwest Europe: the Evidence of Recent Fieldwork
Distribution of all sites in the database

During the research for the book The Later Prehistory of Northwest Europe: the Evidence of Recent Fieldwork, reports on recent fieldwork on later prehistoric sites in continental northwest Europe were systematically collected. All reports that could be obtained were recorded in a database. An edited version of this database is presented here to accompany the book and provide a tool for further research.

The geographical scope of data collection comprised Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, northern and western France (Alsace, Aquitaine, Basse-Normandie, Bretagne, Champagne-Ardenne, Haute-Normandie, Île-de-France, Lorraine, Pays de la Loire, Nord-Pas-de-Calais, Picardie, and the department of Eure-et-Loire), the Channel Islands, northern and western Germany (Bremen, Hamburg, Hessen, Niedersachsen, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Rheinland-Pfalz, Saarland and Schleswig-Holstein), and the Jutland peninsula of Denmark. A database record was created for any intrusive field investigation that encountered features dated to between the late 6th millennium BC and the end of the 1st century BC.

Data was collected from:

  • published monographs, journal articles and annual ‘round-ups’ of fieldwork, with visits made to libraries across the region to consult publications unavailable outside their country of origin;
  • unpublished ‘grey literature’ reports, where these were available either at accessible centralised archives or via internet repositories.

Data collection was carried out region-by-region from early 2009 to mid 2011. In each case the aim was to, at a minimum, comprehensively record relevant reported investigations carried out from 1998 up to the time of data collection. For further information see the accompanying document The Later Prehistory of Northwest Europe: a guide to the project database, which can be accessed from the downloads page under 'Documentation'.
