| Abstract: |
Only fifteen fully-authenticated Iron Age warrior-burials have been found in Britain; these are catalogued. About the middle of 1st century BC the burial rite of inhumation with weapons was adopted by the rich peasant farmers of Wessex and Yorkshire. These contain complete sets of equipment, but elsewhere burials with single weapons occur. A small number of rich cremation burials of 1st century AD have also produced weapons, but usually only a shield. Au |
