from Iron Age Wales, in general, has created the impression that the archaeological record for this region of Britain is impoverished. This book will challenge that assumption and show that through the collection and collation of material culture recovered from a variety of contexts; including chance finds, hoard groups and those from excavations, a diferent picture emerges.Whilst the information presented in this book has only been collected from two regions of Wales it ofers a new interpretation of the variety and variability of artefacts available for further study in Wales as a whole for the Iron Age period.

Whilst the material culture available to date may not be vast in its quantities, what is available is often of a very high standard, ilustrating that Wales at this period was not the backwater that it is often believed to have been but had contacts and associations with the rest of Europe.The purpose of compiling this information about artefacts in south-east Wales was to demonstrate, that through the collection and collation of disparate and fragmentary information just how much material culture is available in a relatively small area and how much potential there is in this information for further research.
