Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
A detailed catalogue and consideration of the metalwork in the light of recent research. Although most finds are provenanced, few are associated, and study depends largely on distributions. Like SW Scotland, Cumbria received its earliest metalwork via the Solway Firth, and development thence continued to show Scottish - and Irish - connections, with a few Continental influences (eg rapiers with solid cast hilts) until a relatively stagnant LBA in which MBA forms continued in use down to mid-1st millennium BC. There is no clear evidence of prehistoric exploitation of Cumbrian copper, and a single mould (Croglin) is the only direct evidence of metalworking. The distributional variation seen from one part of the Bronze Age to another seems due to parochialism in the deeply-cut valleys. Pieces of special interest are the Helvington Moss MBA dagger (formerly classed as EBA), with short broad tang and hatched triangle decoration, and an Irish-British bucket (lost, but well-recorded) from Ravenstonedale. | |||||||||
