{"product_id":"9781902771700","title":"Sutton Common: The Excavation of an Iron Age 'Marsh Fort'","description":"\u003cp\u003eSutton Common in South Yorkshire is one of the best-known Iron Age multivallate sites in lowland Britain. This volume describes the results of the large-scale excavations undertaken there between 1998 and 2003, which have provided unparalleled insights into the function and meaning of this 4th-century BC 'marsh-fort'. Sutton Common is described as a place where the social identity of the local community was reinforced through the construction of the physical representation of the idea of community, using a bank-and-ditch arrangement that resembles the defences used elsewhere, particularly at hillforts. No houses were found within the enclosure, but some 150 four-post structures were excavated, many containing deposits of charred grain in one or two of their postholes. This well-dated site makes significant contributions to the debates on prehistoric enclosure, cosmology, food storage, and mortuary practices in prehistoric Britain and Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Council for British Archeology","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47039870238960,"sku":"9781902771700","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781902771700_p0.jpg?v=1763613404","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781902771700","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
