“…There was an apparent expansion in the number of formal cemeteries between the 6th and 5th centuries bc (Gomez de Soto 2009, 275). Whether this represents an arrival of new groups to the area, who adopted local practices, or (more likely) an increased expression of local practices in the face of change, is unclear (Vannier 2019, 170; Pope 2021, 28). These early cemeteries are usually small (1–12 graves) and probably represent individual families.…”

The past four decades have been a time of great activity for researchers examining the Iron Age in north-west Europe. Since the 1980s, the scale of archaeological fieldwork has expanded massively and, with it, the quantity of data available to study. Iron Age mortuary data have been one of the main beneficiaries of this. Britain is no exception to this trend, with a number of important discoveries made over the years, thereby improving our understanding of mortuary practices during this period. The situation is comparable for the regions which immediately border Britain: Ireland, northern France, Belgium, and the Netherlands. This paper reviews the current state of research for this part of Europe, contextualising the Iron Age British data within the broader north-west European frame of these neighbouring regions. In so doing, a better understanding of how chronological developments in the British mortuary data relate to those elsewhere is possible. Additionally, these data may inform us of other aspects of past societies, such as population mobility, social structure, and the persistence of ritual practices over time.

“…A previous study of formal burials allowed for the identification of regional groups and local funerary traditions within the study area (Vannier 2019). This research contributed to the definition of funerary practices of communities on both sides of the English Channel within the ‘mid-Atlantic province’ (Milcent 2012, 11).…”

This paper concerns the architecture of formal burials from the La Tène period in north-western Gaul and southern Britain. The research focuses on the shape and dimensions of sepulchral pits containing inhumed or burnt human remains, on the different materials used for the internal elements, and the external constructions and structures covering, framing, or marking the burials. The study of these data exposes the preferred choices in the funerary architecture of Gallic and British communities during the last five centuries bc. The results reveal different regional funerary groups within three main cross-Channel zones according to the architectural elements of the graves and the main treatments of the body. The distinct characteristics of these groups highlight their common features and relationships with neighbouring areas of the Continental and Atlantic zones.
