Abstract
Food, sex and death: cosmologies in the British Iron Age with particular reference to East Yorkshire
Mike Parker Pearson
43 - 69
IA traditions involving the east-west axis of the sun's path, the sunwise progression of movement and the classification of animals are considered in the context of IA cemeteries from East Yorkshire to assess the ordering of social differences. It is thought the burials of an elite group suggest a conception of sacred leadership or kingship including the symbolic spearing of certain individuals. Animal offerings were used in the structuring of social differences, with pig portions and sheep bones marking the dead of the elite and commoner groups respectively. There are comments from Miranda Aldhouse Green (61--2), Barry Cunliffe (62), Richard Hingley (63), John Dent (63--5), and Ian Ralston (65--6).
`Drinking the feast': alcohol and the legitimation of power in Celtic Europe
Bettina Arnold
71 - 93
Discusses the importance of feasting and drinking in the Iron Age leadership of Europe and the British Isles with reference to literature from the period including Y Gododdin, Senchus Mor and the writings of Athenaeus. The Late Hallstatt sites of Vix and Hochdorf on the continent are noted and references are made to the Marlborough vat and the Aylesford bucket. Argues that only Iron Age burials containing a large number of eating and drinking vessels, particularly large metal cauldrons, should be considered the graves of the highest status individuals such as chieftains.

109 - 126
