Prospects and potential in the archaeology of Bronze Age Britain
This paper argues that although our discipline focuses increasingly on thematic research programmes, period-based approaches remain a valuable way of understanding the particularities of the social practices we study. Different aspects of the archaeological record – including settlement, burial, landscape and material culture – are examined in turn to identify a series of possible questions for future research.
Towards a fuller, more nuanced narrative of Chalcolithic and Early Bronze Age Britain 2500
This contribution will focus mainly on the period 2500
Bronze Age pottery and settlements in southern England
What we need to do. Doctoral research involving artefact corpora appears to be unfashionable. However the compilation of such works for Food Vessels, accessory vessels and the Late Bronze Age styles is desperately needed; and the studies of Biconical Urns and MBA pottery (see above) need to be published.
