Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The traditional terminal date of 500 BC for the Grenzhorizont (British Zone VIIb/VIII transition) must be re-examined in view of revised datings for relevant archaeological material such as the Llyn Fawr hoard and the Cloonlara shield, and 14C-dates for the Somerset trackways reflecting increasing wetness from 12th century to 7th/6th BC. The period of climatic worsening was in fact a long one, producing not only more wetness and cold but a higher incidence of storms and high winds. Whereas long sea voyages would have been favoured during the Neo/BA climatic optimum (and again during the Viking expansion), they would have been difficult during the Hallstatt A and B phases, a period when in fact there is least Continental contact with Britain. | ||||||
