| Abstract: |
A collection of essays written by scholars in the fields of Iron Age and Roman archaeology and material finds in Britain in order to examine the ways in which the study of sites, artefacts and ancient societies are interdependent. The book deals with the wide range of objects produced by the Iron Age and Roman cultures. It emphasises the role of the archaeologist as interpreter of people, not things, and attempts to demonstrate how object studies can move beyond pure description to communicate with the past. Individual essays discuss Iron Age and Romano-British religion, the Roman army in Wales, Roman bronze, pottery and glass objects, the Roman economy and museum objects, and the collection as a whole offers an overview of the material culture of Iron Age and Roman western Europe.
