Danebury: An Iron age hillfort in Hampshire Vol 2 The excavations 1969-1978: the finds
Barry Cunliffe
CBA Research Report No 52b (1984)
ISBN 0 906780 29 2Abstract
This is the second volume of Report 52, which focuses on the finds. The Iron Age hillfort of Danebury, in Hampshire, has been the scene of a major programme of excavation which began in 1969. There are three volumes; Volumes 1 and 2 are concerned with the site and the material remains from it, while volume 3, produced by the RCHM(E), presents a survey of the cultural landscape within which Danebury lies. The excavations from 1979 until the end of the project will be published in one or two more volumes, reserving a final volume for ancillary studies generated by the Danebury data-set.These reports merely advertise what is available and offer some general approximations to the truth which may help those interested in these matters to design new and more penetrating analyses.
