This volume presents preliminary results of three seasons of
excavation at the Late Iron Age oppidum settlement of Kelheim,
including analytical studies of materials recovered and
interpretation of the significance of the findings. Research on the
materials presented here is ongoing, and more detailed reports will
follow at a later date. The volume is divided into four main
sections. The first explains the reasons for investigations at
Kelheim, the questions addressed, the character of the landscape,
and the history of archaeological research there. The second
describes the techniques of excavation used and the progress over
the three field seasons, and presents the results of the
excavations, regarding both settlement features and artifact
distribution, as well as an overview of the character of the
material recovered. Many illustrations are included here in order
to show the range of pottery, metal, and other objects from the
site. The third section includes special studies of several
categories of materials, as well as discussion of the chronology of
the occupation and presentation of the results of the landscape
survey around the Late Iron Age settlement. The final section
attempts to address some major questions about late prehistoric
Europe from the perspective of these excavations and analytical
results at Kelheim. A final section presents investigations into
ritual behavior in the Kelheim region and uses this theme to argue
for strong continuity of tradition from prehistoric times into the
Middle Ages.
