Early Celtic art - typified by the iconic shields; swords; torcs and chariot gear we can see in places such as the British Museum - has been studied in isolation from the rest of the evidence from the Iron Age. This book reintegrates the art with the archaeology; placing the finds in the context of our latest ideas about Iron Age and Romano-British society. The contributions move beyond the traditional concerns with artistic styles and continental links; to consider the material nature of objects; their social effects and their role in practices such as exchange and burial. The aesthetic impact of decorated metalwork; metal composition and manufacturing; dating and regional differences within Britain all receive coverage. The book gives us a new understanding of some of the most ornate and complex objects ever found in Britain; artefacts that condense and embody many histories.
