It comprised at least five individual sites of house clusters and enclosures, spread around the rim of a shallow valley overlooking around 100 hectares of open pasture. At its peak between 400 BC and 100 BC the settlement would have contained up to 100 circular buildings. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Volume 1 describes the excavation of the largest of these individual sites, that at Covert Farm, Crick, excavated by the Birmingham University Field Archaeology Unit. From the outset the excavations adopted an innovative approach to examine social themes in Iron Age studies, such as relationships with rubbish, fire and water, and the way life in the settlement may have been experienced by its inhabitants - themes that are presented and discussed in this book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION ;  \u003cbr\u003e CHAPTER 2: TOWARDS A CHRONOLOGY ;  \u003cbr\u003e CHAPTER 3: PERIOD 1.1 TO 1.3: NEOLITHIC, CHALCOLITHIC AND EARLY BRONZE AGE ;  \u003cbr\u003e CHAPTER 4: PERIOD 2.3: EARLY IRON AGE ;  \u003cbr\u003e CHAPTER 5: PERIOD 3.1 AND 3.2: EARLIER MIDDLE IRON AGE ;  \u003cbr\u003e CHAPTER 6: PERIOD 4.1 AND 4.2: LATER MIDDLE IRON AGE ;  \u003cbr\u003e CHAPTER 7: PERIOD 5.1 AND 5.2: LATE IRON AGE ;  \u003cbr\u003e CHAPTER 8: PERIOD 6.1 AND 6.2: ROMANO-BRITISH ;  \u003cbr\u003e CHAPTER 9: THE SENSORY FRAMEWORK ;  \u003cbr\u003e CHAPTER 10: FIRE, RUBBISH AND DOORWAYS ;  \u003cbr\u003e CHAPTER 11: SYNTHESIS AND CONCLUSIONS","brand":"Archaeopress","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51020440306007,"sku":"9781784912086","price":45.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781784912086.jpg?v=1750783433","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-iron-age-and-romano-british-settlement-at-crick-covert-farm-excavations-1997-1998-dirft-volume-i-9781784912086","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
