Abstract:
The paucity of serious discussion of warfare in recent archaeological literature is highlighted. Various definitions of warfare are considered. The role of warfare in Iron Age Wessex from the seventh century BC to the Roman conquest is examined, and evidence for warfare in the form of the nature of settlements, artefacts, burials, and historical sources is considered. The origin of hillforts, the development of regional territories in the Middle Iron Age, and the appearance of weapons and personal wealth in the Late Iron Age are discussed.
