Celebrating the rich heritage of archaeology and of archaeological
research in Hertfordshire, the 15 papers collected in this work focus on
various aspects of the region, including the Neolithic to the
post-Medieval periods, and include a report on the important excavations
at the formative henge at Norton. Several chapters focus new attention
on the Iron Age and Roman periods, both from a landscape perspective and
through detailed studies of artefacts, while a discussion of the rare
early Saxon material recently excavated at Watton at Stone makes a vital
contribution to the existing corpus of knowledge about this
little-understood period. All of the papers in the volume focus on the
local scene with an understanding of wider issues in each period and as
a result, the papers are of importance beyond the boundaries of the
county and will be of interest to scholars with wide-ranging interests.
