Abstract:		 This paper considers the value of Sussex's 'early' excavation archives for reconsidering 'rubbish' deposits on Iron Age sites. The review concentrates on pit deposits from Middle Iron Age prominent enclosures (hillforts). The focal data base of the study comprises the contents of over 140 pits excavated at the Caburn hillfort in the late 19th century by Lane Fox, and in the 1920s under the auspices of E. and E. C. Curwen . The results suggest, particularly on hill fort sites, that rubbish deposition was purposefully structured and that the deposition of highly symbolic artefacts and remains was part of this tradition.
