Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
A plea for an end to the persistent misuse of the traditional Three Age terminology which still governs the Irish-British Bronze Age, and for acceptance of work of the past decade which has either been ignored or misunderstood. Uniform terms of reference are needed, fitted to the new attitudes. Hawkes' scheme of 1960 provides a framework for this, and is summarised. The Early, Middle and Late divisions now have a techno-typological, rather than cultural basis. Associations of Urns, and the few available 14C dates, are examined to demonstrate their existence in EBA but, because of a remarkable ritual break at c 1400, not in MBA, let alone LBA. Similarly, Deverel-Rimbury is now MBA, not LBA, its position after c 1000 uncertain. Since much in our Iron Age is now thought indigenous, already apparent in Deverel-Rimbury, an awkward LBA gap is opened up, apparently devoid of settlements and pottery. But much nominally Iron Age material may prove to be LBA. There is a need for many more 14C dates to clarify these problems. Au(abr) | ||||||||
