Table of ContentsReviewsThe book is primarily a work of wide and impressive synthesis, rich in description rather than radical re-interpretation. Few scholars could match Harding's shift in register from the intimate details of art symbolism to the Classical texts and the archaeological evidence, with this work, he builds on his previous four major monographs on different arenas of Iron Age life and death. * Melanie Giles, Antiquity * The book is beautifully illustrated throughout with the author's crisply executed line drawings. It will be an essential text for anyone with a serious interest in the British Iron Age. * Ian Armit, Current Archaeology * skilfully researched and structured ... The book draws on the ever-increasing wealth of information in the grey literature, enabling Harding to bring to fore less well known sites, and demonstrate his superb archaeological knowledge with the reinterpretation of older excavation reports. * Rebecca Redfern, British Archaeology * It is clear, from Harding's thorough and well-presented analysis, that human remains in Iron Age Britain were a powerful resource for the living, and that the diverse and fragmented mortuary practices observed have much to tell us, not only about the Iron Age dead, but about Iron Age society at large. As such, this much-needed volume serves not only as a go-to reference guide for Iron Age mortuary practice, but as a platform for opening up new lines of inquiry into this enigmatic topic. * Lindsey Buster, Archaeological Journal * The book is beautifully illustrated throughout with the author's crisply executed line drawings.
