Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The "Celticising" of Britain is seen as a very long, cumulative process. Two historical conquests (Norman and Roman) and two infiltrating settlements (Anglo-Saxon and Scandinavian) illustrates the varying degree to which such movements may be archaeologically apparent. We know now that La Tène III was not a direct import but a development from La Tène II, which must itself be a Continental import (for example the smooth, dark "saucepan"- or pear-shaped pots). Before that, the "angular" pottery marks a 5th century BC intrusion from the Marne or Aisne upon a well-established insular Iron Age. Still further back, this earliest Iron Age was surely not introduced by traders alone but must indicate (as in Yorkshire) a strong influx of newcomers settling where they could find or make room. They show us a stratified society; and since a similarly stratified society is evident in our Bronze Age, we may envisage continual replenishment of Celtic influences from the Continent through the Deverel tradition and as far back as the Wessex Culture. |
