Abstract:
The contextual and spatial distribution of metalwork in EBA Britain makes a clear case for the differential use of the available equipment. It is argued that various depositional modes were intended to be permanent. There is complex interplay between and with grave contexts, hoards, and single finds, with mutual exclusion as a dominant feature. Extant distributions are considered to be largely due to positive selection processes in deposition, a conclusion with implications for the metal stocks in circulation. Rank and ritual associations contribute to the formation of a social theory advanced to account for the main customs of deposition observed. Au (abr)
