This book was written at a time when the older conventional
diffusionist view of prehistory, largely associated with the work
of V. Gordon Childe, was under rigorous scrutiny from British
prehistorians, who still nevertheless regarded the 'Arras' culture
of eastern Yorkshire and the 'Belgic' cemeteries of south-eastern
Britain as the product of immigrants from continental Europe.
Sympathetic to the idea of population mobility as one mechanism for
cultural innovation, as widely recognized historically, it
nevertheless attempted a critical re-appraisal of the southern
British Iron Age in its continental context. Subsequent fashion in
later prehistoric studies has favoured economic, social and
cognitive approaches, and the cultural-historical framework has
largely been superseded. Routine use of radiocarbon dating and
other science-based applications, and new field data resulting from
developer-led archaeology have revolutionized understanding of the
British Iron Age, and once again raised issues of its relationship
to continental Europe.
