About This Book
A systematic survey of bronze-age metalwork in the British Isles, combining descriptive history with a detailed catalogue and engraved illustrations. It organizes types of implements—flat, flanged, winged celts, palstaves, socketed axes—alongside chisels, gouges, hammers, weapons, and personal ornaments, and describes methods of hafting and local variations. The author compares British forms with continental analogues, emphasizes minute morphological features for tracing cultural connections, and offers practical notes on discovery contexts and museum specimens. An accompanying index and smaller-type technical entries provide references for specialists while more general sections address broader historical and archaeological questions.
