| Abstract: |
This thesis aims to examine the development of constructed cult loci from the Late Iron Age to the Late Roman period in southern Britain, focusing on the differential use of internal space. Following an initial review on the interpretative parameters used in the archaeological identification of constructed cult sites, the evidence for such loci within an Iron Age context is critically re-examined. The thesis suggests that not only were such sites very rare and geographically dispersed, but they were confined in the most cases to the ultimate pre-Roman and Roman transition periods. It is suggested that this development may have been at least partly induced by an internal increase in societal specialisation and political hierarchy, in addition to external influences from Roman Gaul. |
