This collection of papers by an international chort of contributors explores the nature
of the maritime connections that appear to have existed in the Transmanche/English
Channel Zone during later prehistory. Organised into three themes, 'Movement and Identity
in the Transmanche Zone'; 'Travel and exchange'; 'Identity and Landscape', the papers
seek to articulate notions of frontier, mobility and identity from the end of the
3rd to the beginning of the 1st millennium BC, a time when the archaeological evidence
suggests that the sea facilitated connections between peoples on both sides of the
Channel rather than acting as a barrier as it is so often perceived today. Recent
decades have since a massive increase in large-scale excavation programmes on either
side of the Channel in advance of major infra-structure and urban development, resulting
in the acqusition of huge, complex new datasets enabling new insights into later prehistoric
life in this crucially important region. Papers consider the role of several key archaeologists
in transforming our appreciation of the connectivity of the sea in prehistory; consider
the extent to which the Channel zone developed into a closely unified cultural zone
during later Bronze Age in terms of communities that serviced the movement of artefacts
across the Channel with both sides sharing widely in the same artefacts and social
practices; examine funerary practices and settlement evidence and consider the relationship
between communities in social, cultural and ideological terms; and consider mechanisms
for the transmission of ideas and how they may be reflected in the archaeological
record. Brings together leading scholars from the UK and northern Europe in a thought-provoking
and revealing new examination of the relationship between communities in the 'Transmanche
Zone' in the Bronze and Iron Ages. The premise is that the English Channel was a conduit
for connectivity and exchange of ideas, artefacts and social practices and rather
than a barrier or frontier that had to be overcome before such connections could be
fostered
