It aims to collapse the historic distinction between art and craft during the period 400BC-AD100 by examining the purposeful nature of decoration on varied Iron Age objects, not just those traditionally considered art. A case study from East Yorkshire (UK), a region well known for its elaborate Iron Age metalwork, is presented. This study takes a holistic approach to the finds from a sample of 30 sites, comparing pattern and plainness on objects of a wide range of materials. The analysis focuses on the factors that led makers to decorate certain objects in certain ways and the uses of different patterns in different social contexts. A concentrated study on evidence for use-wear, damage, repair and modification then draws on primary research and uses assemblage theory to better understand the uses and functions of decorated objects and the ways these developed over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Helen Chittock\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1407356976\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781407356976\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e British Archaeological Reports (Oxford) Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/25\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 150\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.69h x 8.27w x 0.41d","brand":"Helen Chittock","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43982674493695,"sku":"9781407356976","price":86.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9eccdb0a-e5c0-46d8-b21f-310824546f9f.jpg?v=1683262445","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/arts-and-crafts-in-iron-helen-chittock-9781407356976","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
