The site has international significance because of the extensive excavations of the Iron Age palisaded settlement and later earthen ramparts, complex gateway, and chevaux-de-frise of upright stones. It is now widely recognised that the Iron Age consisted of many regional cultural traditions, and the excavations at Castell Henllys provide a vital contrast to the well-known large hillfort communities in other parts of England and Wales as well as across Europe. As such, it is a unique window into a widespread but largely ignored site category and form of social and economic organisation. The publication will provide a case study for the construction and use of the earthworks of a major European late prehistoric settlement type – the Iron Age hillfort; the monumental construction is compared with other communal investments such as the Mississippian mounds. It will also offer an innovative form of site reporting, incl | | 出版日期 | Book 2013 | | 关键词 | Iron Age Archaeology; Welsh archaeology; defense preparations in the Iron Age; defensive sequence of hi | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4614-8027-3 | | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4939-4786-7 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4614-8027-3 | | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media New York 2013 |
