Abstract/Summary

This monograph reports the results of prospection and excavations across 50km2 to explore the prehistoric context for the emergence of the Iron Age oppidum and Roman city of Calleva Atrebatum (Silchester). Six locations with suspected later prehistoric enclosures were sampled by coring and excavation, accompanied by extensive programmes of radiocarbon dating and environmental, especially pollen analysis. The oppidum of Calleva was founded in a wooded and otherwise empty landscape at the end of the 1st century BCE.
