| Abstract: |
The result of research that included the use of infra red spectrometry to provenance material, much of which originated in the Baltic area. Divided into eleven sections, the first forms an introduction to the corpus of material involved and its finds record (11-14). Section two deals with `Fossil resins of the British Isles' (15-27), section three reports `The provenience analysis of British amber artefacts' (29-37) including material in collections from around the country, and section four covers `Typology and technology of the amber artifacts' (51-64). The next four sections deal with `Amber in the Mesolithic and Neolithic' (65-9), `Amber in the British Early Bronze Age' (71-98), `Amber in the Middle and Late Bronze Age' (99-104) and `Amber in the Iron Age' (105-7). Section nine looks at `British amber in its European context' (109-31) and section ten considers `Exchange and the social context of amber in Europe' (133-42). The final section presents a corpus of the British material (143-218). |
