The collection of prehistoric, Roman and Medieval antiquities collected by Leon Morel (1828-1909) was acquired by the British Museum in 1901. This book presents a wonderfullyillustrated catalogue of the Iron Age artefacts from the Champagne region, held within the collection, although a gazeteer of provenances is given covering the whole collection.

This is an account of large-scale excavations revealing the development of an extensive Iron Age settlement and small Roman town in Hertfordshire from c. 200 B.C. to A.D. 450. Among the furnished burials is an important La Tène III tomb. The book includes valuable discussions of the British coinage, of a wide variety of Gallo-Belgic and other imported Gaulish pottery, of the trading networks within the region and of the implications for the economy of the many animal bones from the site.

This volume reports on the excavation of a series of six Iron Age cemeteries in Champagne, France: Ménil-Annelles, Ville-sur-Retourne, Juniville, Alincourt, Saulces-Champenoises and Quilly. All the Champagne cemeteries were located via their distinctive ditched enclosures which served as the focus of each burial group. The excavations were conducted by an Anglo-French team of archaeologists between 1971 and 1982. In this report they describe the spatial arrangement of each cemetery and its burials, and consider the relative chronology of the series, from Hallstatt and La Tène to the Gallo-Roman period. They compare the cemeteries with other known burial sites from the region, and discuss the local evidence for changing funerary rituals. Specialist chapters deal with the Celtic coins, pottery and petrographic analyses, glass vessels, metalwork (including weapons and jewellery), Roman artefacts, human and animal bones, and the Iron Age and Roman landscape. All pots from each burial are further described and illustrated in a complete inventory at the end of the volume.
