Excavation, Analysis and Interpretation of Early Bronze Age Barrows at Guiting Power, Gloucestershire by Alistair Marshall Pdf
This volume covers the full excavation, analysis and interpretation of two early Bronze Age round barrows at Guiting Power in the Cotswolds, a region where investigation and protection of such sites have been extremely poor, with many barrows unnecessarily lost to erosion, and with most existing excavation partial, and of low quality.
Orientation of Prehistoric Monuments in Britain: A Reassessment by Alistair Marshall Pdf
Reassesses major axial alignment at many megalithic ritual and funerary monuments (Neolithic to Bronze Age) in Britain and Ireland, not in terms of abstract astronomical concerns, but as an expression of repeated seasonal propitiation involving community, agrarian economy and ancestry in an attempt to mitigate variable environmental conditions.
The Later Saxon and Early Norman Manorial Settlement at Guiting Power, Gloucestershire by Alistair Marshall Pdf
This volume outlines an investigation of the early manor at Guiting Power, a village in the Cotswolds with Saxon origins, lying in an area with interesting entries in the Domesday Survey of 1086.
The Development of an Iron Age and Roman Settlement Complex at The Park and Bowsings, near Guiting Power, Gloucestershire: Farmstead and Stronghold by Alistair Marshall Pdf
Excavations near Guiting Power in the Cotswolds reveal evidence of occupation until the late 4th century AD: a relatively undefended middle Iron Age farmstead was abandoned, followed by a mid to later Iron Age ditched enclosure. This latter site perhaps became dilapidated, with a Romanised farmstead developing over the traditional habitation area.
Excavations at King's Low and Queen's Low by Gary Lock,Dick Spicer,Wilson Hollins Pdf
Two barrows in the parish of Tixall, north of Stafford, were excavated between 1986-1994. The results are important because little excavation of round barrows has been carried out in this area of North Staffordshire and these add considerably to the local corpus of knowledge concerning Early Bronze Age burial practices.

The Early Bronze Age Village on Tsoungiza Hill by Daniel J. Pullen Pdf
While "corridor houses" such as the House of the Tiles at Lerna have provoked widespread discussion about the origins of social stratification in Greece, few settlements of the Early Bronze Age (ca. 3100 to 2000 B.C.) have been thoroughly excavated. This important study integrates the presentation and analysis of the archaeological evidence from a single settlement that flourished on Tsoungiza Hill in the Nemea Valley from the Final Neolithic until the end of the Early Helladic period. The first section details the stratigraphy, architecture, deposits, and ceramics of each of the five major periods represented. The second section contains specialist reports on all aspects of material culture including figurines and ornaments, textiles and crafts, metal analyses, chipped and ground stone, and faunal and palaeobotanical remains.
Bronze Age Settlements in the Low Countries by Harry Fokkens Pdf
The Low Countries around the deltas of the river Rhine, Meuse and Scheldt have a long tradition in large scale archaeological research. This book brings together research from thirteen of the largest Bronze Age settlements described by their original excavators. These contributions are preceded by two introductory chapters written by the editors, providing a full overview of the state of Dutch Bronze Age settlement research, the key sites and the explanatory models current within it. Standards have been developed for the analysis of Bronze Age house plans and settlement sites and new models for the reading of the settled landscape. The rich data of the Low Countries also incorporate burial areas and deposition places. The findings presented can be seen to reflect the situation over a large area of lands bordering the North Sea.
Early Bronze Age Round Barrows of the Anglo-Welsh Border by Neal Johnson Pdf
Thisresearch focuses on the Early Bronze Age round barrows of the central andnorthern Anglo-Welsh borderlands. Contextualisation of the barrows is providedby a discussion of the archaeology of the Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Agein the study area. Existing classificatory schemes for barrows and cairns arecritically analysed and the variety of taphonomic factors that are likely tohave influenced the distribution of these monuments today is reviewed. Thetopographical context of a series of barrow clusters is examined in detail todemonstrate subtle but important differences in how these monuments were placedin the landscape. The study provides theoretical insights into the role ofbarrows and cairns. These are seen not solely as mortuary monuments, but as'interventions' in the landscape that gave material form to particular socialconcerns through the manipulation of significant materials in special places.
Barrows in the Peak District by John Barnatt,John Collis Pdf
The work of early antiquaries, especially Thomas Bateman, has made the Peak District one of the key areas, along with Wessex and the Yorkshire Wolds, for our understanding of the Neolithic and Early Bronze Age periods in Britain. In this volume, John Barnatt brings together much of this early evidence, both to provide a modern overview and interpretation of the data, and to make the evidence more accessible, with a major corpus of the barrows and their contents. In addition two recent excavations of Bronze Age sites are presented, Liffs Low and Hognaston.
The Later Saxon and Early Norman Manorial Settlement at Guiting Power, Gloucestershire by Alistair Marshall Pdf
This report outlines investigation of the early manor at Guiting Power, a village in the Cotswolds with Saxon origins, lying in an area with interesting entries in the Domesday Survey of 1086. Excavation has shown that, during the later Saxon period, a lightly defended compound contained a principal area of habitation, with an adjacent, more open 'working area' partly divided by ditched sub-enclosures, perhaps related to subsidiary settlement, or other economic activity. This complex may have formed the main estate-centre for a more extensive land-holding, scattered over the northern Cotswolds, and leased from the king, its last Saxon tenant being one 'Alwin', as sheriff of the county a thegn of some standing. During the major economic and social changes following the Conquest, under a change to Norman lordship, the manorial perimeter was reinforced, and a small apsidal church was constructed within it, now restored as a standing monument. Subsequently, a new complex of manorial buildings was established on a fresh site within the enclosure, the precursor of the present parish church was constructed nearby, with further development of manor and village into the full medieval period.
