Abstract: |
The study has isolated a number of previously unrecognized funerary traditions and given some perspective to the known Arras and Aylesford material: four regional inhumation traditions are identified together with a scattered tradition of sword-burial (23 examples). One universal preference is for crouched burial with head to north. However, the archaeologically invisible burial rite of the period 1000-400 BC continues beyond the Roman conquest in places. |
