<p><i>Funerary and related cups of the British Bronze Age</i>presents the first national corpus and study of these often highly decorated items. Cups are the least studied of all Bronze Age funerary ceramics and their interpretations are still based on antiquarian speculation. They are clearly 'Urnes of no small Variety' and previous attempts at classification have largely failed due to this variation. Their potential uses, technologies and associations are examined and many myths, such as their association with children and their role in accompanying other ceramics such as Collared Urns and Food Vessels are examined and questioned. Cups appear to have been grave goods in their own right and the term 'accessory vessel' is rejected. The book contains a fully referenced and illustrated national corpus that will form the basis for future studies.</p>
