The exotic and impressive grave goods from burials of the Wessex Culture in Early
Bronze Age Britain are well known and have inspired influential social and economic
hypotheses, invoking the former existence of chiefs, warriors and merchants and high-ranking
pastoralists. Alternative theories have sought to explain how display of such objects
was related to religious and ritual activity rather than to economic status, and that
groups of artefacts found in certain graves may have belonged to religious specialists.
This volume is the result of a major research project that aimed to investigate Chalcolithic
and Early Bronze Age grave goods in relation to their possible use as special dress
accessories or as equipment employed within ritual activities and ceremonies. Many
items of adornment can be shown to have formed elements of elaborate costumes, probably
worn by individuals, both male and female, who held important ritual roles within
society. Furthermore, the analysis has shown that various categories of object long
interpreted as mundane types of tool were in fact items of bodily adornment or implements
used in ritual contexts, or in the special embellishment of the human body
