Chariots, Swords and Spears: Iron Age Burials at the Foot of the East Yorkshire Wolds

De (autor): Mark Stephens


This volume brings together recent excavations at two sites in Pocklington, East Yorkshire. The main focus of the volume will be examining Iron Age burials, which included chariots, sword and spears and will also include earlier Prehistoric and later Roman activity. The excavations have enabled further scientific evidence for migration and mobility in the Iron Age population and secure chronologies for artifacts. New evidence from osteological analysis gives support for Warrior Graves and burial rites. The Pocklington shield has been described as one of the most significant pieces of Iron Age art.

The exceptional Finds including a dismantled chariot with horses and an upright chariot also with horses captured the worlds media and the public imagination. The excavations at Pocklington in 2017 & 2018 were featured on BBC 4's Digging for Britain series and was voted Current Archaeology Rescue Project of the Year 2018.

The Anglian elements will be included in an additional volume.
