Abstract:		 IA traditions involving the east-west axis of the sun's path, the sunwise progression of movement and the classification of animals are considered in the context of IA cemeteries from East Yorkshire to assess the ordering of social differences. It is thought the burials of an elite group suggest a conception of sacred leadership or kingship including the symbolic spearing of certain individuals. Animal offerings were used in the structuring of social differences, with pig portions and sheep bones marking the dead of the elite and commoner groups respectively. There are comments from Miranda Aldhouse Green (61--2), Barry Cunliffe (62), Richard Hingley (63), John Dent (63--5), and Ian Ralston (65--6).
