Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Study focusing on the major role played by Kent in prehistoric cross-channel trade, particularly in bronze scrap and high-status bronze artefacts during the Bronze and Early Iron Age. Archaeological and documentary evidence described in the paper shows that, from the Neolithic to the Iron Age, the eastern trade route connected south-east Britain via the Thames and the coast of Kent with the resource-rich areas of the Alps and Central Europe. At its most developed stage, it also extended as far as the Mediterranean. It is proposed that the virtual collapse of the trade route in the sixth century BC led to cultural and technological isolation in south-east Britain, in turn contributing to the decline of coastal settlement, a situation only reversed with the re-establishment of the eastern route during the Late Iron Age.
