Bronze Age metalwork has always caught the interest of
archaeologists, largely due to the very large volume and variety of
objects that is still being recovered on an almost daily basis.
Regional catalogues have been repeatedly undertaken in an attempt
to manage the sheer wealth of data and analyse the implications. In
1983, one Susan Pearce published such a study of south western
Britain (BAR 120, 1983), contributing a catalogue of 896 find
spots. This discussion embraced the wider understanding of
metalworking in the region, how this fitted with traditions across
the rest of the country and the European continent, and how the
metalwork was integrated into prehistoric society. This volume is
intended to bring the 1983 corpus of south western Bronze Age
metalwork finds up to date by documenting finds made in the four
counties between January 1980 and July 2014.The intention here is
not to undertake a full re-examination of the south western
metalwork and its context - such a discussion is beyond the
confines of this publication - but instead to suggest some of the
broad parameters within which such a discussion might take place,
and to point to several key themes that have become prominent in
Bronze Age studies since 1983 and to some that remain relatively
underexplored. A digital copy of the 1983 corpus has been included
on CD as part of this publication to allow access to the complete
collection of find spots in south western Britain.
