The Iron Age in East Yorkshire

by John Strickland Dent

Subtitled An analysis of the later prehistoric monuments of the Yorkshire Wolds and the culture which marked their final phase this volume re-examines the evidence for monument and settlement distribution and material culture in the East Yorkshire Wolds. Dent discerns a distinct Iron Age burial tradition, and builds up a picture of a stratified society. He also posits a shift in the ritual use of monuments from earlier sites in the Rudston area to the headwaters of the River Hull. 138p b/w figs (BAR BS 508, Hedges 2010)

Review Quote

"For anyone new to the region, it offers an excellent synthesis of key monument types, settlement features and material culture. Yet it is also an essential text to those already working in the area, with an invaluable commentary and useful bibliography."
