{"product_id":"sutton-common-robert-van-de-noort-9781902771700","title":"Sutton Common: The Excavation of an Iron Age 'Marsh-Fort'","description":"Sutton Common in South Yorkshire is one of the best-known Iron Age multivallate sites in lowland Britain. This volume describes the results of the large-scale excavations undertaken there between 1998 and 2003, which have provided unparalleled insights into the function and meaning of this 4th-century BC 'marsh-fort'. Sutton Common is described as a place where the social identity of the local community was reinforced through the construction of the physical representation of the idea of community, using a bank-and-ditch arrangement that resembles the defences used elsewhere, particularly at hillforts. No houses were found within the enclosure, but some 150 four-post structures were excavated, many containing deposits of charred grain in one or two of their postholes. This well-dated site makes significant contributions to the debates on prehistoric enclosure, cosmology, food storage, and mortuary practices in prehistoric Britain and Europe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Van de Noort,Henry Chapman,John Collis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1902771702\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781902771700\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Council for British Archaeology\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/31\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 235\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.62h x 8.45w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2008 pg. 108","brand":"Robert Van de Noort","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440098226431,"sku":"9781902771700","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d1efcb5b-1a88-4a9d-9332-068d98b64bdc.jpg?v=1777180340","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sutton-common-robert-van-de-noort-9781902771700","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
