Abstract
Gabbroic clay sources in Cornwall: a petrographic study of prehistoric pottery and cl...
Lucy Harrad
271 - 286
Analysis of prehistoric pottery and clay samples from Cornwall demonstrates that the clay used to make Cornish gabbroic pottery in prehistory originated around the gabbro rock outcrop in a small area of the Lizard peninsula. The research uses petrographic and chemical analysis to subdivide the prehistoric pottery into six groups. Owing to the unusual geology of the Lizard these groups can be attributed to specific locations. The main clay source near Zoar was used for clay extraction throughout the Bronze Age and Iron Age for pottery which was traded all over Cornwall. Other gabbroic clay sources produced pottery only during certain periods and exclusively supplied particular settlements. The results suggest that pottery was produced by several small-scale cottage industries, which may have operated on a seasonal, part-time basis and probably formed only part of a wide range of activities located around the Lizard area.
Facing two seas: Mediterranean and Atlantic contacts in the north-w...
Alfredo González-Ruibal
287 - 317
Despite the marginality of the region, the Later Bronze Age and Iron Age communities of the north-west of the Iberian Peninsula were engaged in active relationships with both Atlantic and Mediterranean peoples. Unlike other Atlantic regions, the area maintained direct contacts both with Mediterranean sailors and with the communities of the British Isles and north-western France simultaneously. The social relevance of these interactions and the range of imported goods transported varied throughout the first millennium BC. New evidence shows an intense involvement in Mediterranean trade from the fifth century BC onwards, while Atlantic contacts increased from the late second century BC, to reach a climax under Roman rule (first--second centuries AD).
Chaining and shaming: images of defeat, from Llyn Cerrig Bach to Sarmitz...
Miranda J Aldhouse-Green
319 - 340
The paper seeks to address issues relating to physical restraint, disempowerment and the symbolisms of humiliation, particularly within the contexts of warfare and conquest in Iron Age and Roman Britain and Europe. The enquiry is based upon evidence from iconography, human remains, the physical paraphernalia of restraint and, for the latest Iron Age onwards, the testimony of such ancient authors as Tacitus. The subject is approached from the perspective not only of empirical material but also from that of social and symbolic theory. In seeking to interpret the relevant material culture, the author has drawn on broad analogies with other periods and contexts. The material under discussion is scrutinized within contexts of ritual practice and performance, together with presentations of degradation and attitudes to foreignness, subjugation, supremacy and inferiority. Questions are raised concerning the symbolic meaning of gang-chains and chain-gangs, grammars of victory imagery and issues associated with shaming the body.
