Iron Age Artefacts in Wales: An investigation into the material culture of south-east Wales during the Pre-Roman Iron Age (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781841713373)

This Investigation into the material culture of south-east Wales during the Pre-Roman Iron Age collates artefacts from chance finds, hoards and excavations to challenge the picture of Wales during this period as impoverished and a relatively unsophisticated backwater. Lists of items from the counties of Gwent and Glamorgan feature a large number of metal objects such as weapons, tools, coins and items of personal adornment, a fact which undoubtedly reflects the industriousness of metal-detectorists in the area. Although Martin does not claim that this is necessarily representative of Wales as a whole during the Iron Age, it does suggest that the evidence is there waiting to be revealed.
