Abstract
The construction of the felloe in Iron Age spoked wheels
Georg Kossack
141 - 163
One-piece bent felloes can be used only for wheels in which the radius of curvature does not exceed ten times the thickness of the felloe. Where the surviving metal attachments show the felloe to have been thicker than that ratio allows, multi-piece felloes must have been used. Hallstatt grave evidence includes U- and T-clamps which suggest the use of inner (?one-piece) and outer (four-piece) felloes clamped together by an iron tyre. Spokes numbered fourteen or sixteen. Earlier wheels had been one-piece bronze castings comprising spokes, hub and channelled rim for a wooden felloe, and the new type appears to relate to wheels from late Assyrian-Elamite vehicles, though the source of the iron tyre remains obscure.
The Waldalgesheim Master
Martyn M Jope
165 - 180
The paper analyses those examples of fine metalwork demonstrably made in the atelier of the individual here defined as the Waldalgesheim Master and seen at their finest in the late 4th century grave of that name. The Master's influence penetrated, through his pupils, a long way in time and space, but his own special quality is seen in the flowing surface-ornament with distinctive devices such as figure-of-eight crossover eel-bodies, and ornament borrowed from the Campanian bucket in the Waldalgesheim grave. Even three centuries later echoes of this workshop were still detectable from Hungary to the British Isles, so the name "Waldalgesheim Style" should be reserved for the products of the seminal workshop. The term "Classic Celtic Style" would then embrace the Waldalgesheim products and the contemporary pieces with controlled, flowing ornament.
Firedogs in Iron Age Britain and beyond
Stuart Piggott
243 - 270
Over a dozen British examples have survived, all but two having animal heads. The majority were unambiguously firedogs, as linguistic evidence tends to confirm, but the Welwyn frame could have held amphorae. Two types are distinguished, of which Type A is double-ended and set frontally to the hearth, close parallels are found on the Continent. Even the late and flamboyant Capel Garmon example has features characteristic of this class, but it also shows Armorican influence (cf Marlborough bucket). The sole representative of Type B - smaller, lighter and with Etruscan influences - is from Bigberry Camp (Kent). Distribution is predominantly Belgic, date from mid-1st century BC to early 2nd AD. The firedogs and their contemporary chains well illustrate the Celtic open hearth, the common European La Tène III ironworking tradition, and the "other-world feast" going back to 8th century Mediterranean roots.
