Focusing on the ironworking communities of East and North Yorkshire from the 4th to 1st centuries BC, the book delves into their material culture, settlement patterns, and funerary practices. It examines their agricultural and craft activities while reflecting on their beliefs and societal structure within the broader context of Iron Age Britain and beyond. Utilizing theoretical frameworks on identity and material relationships, it highlights how both everyday objects and monumental sites reveal the complexities of their social dynamics and the power structures of their leaders.
