{"product_id":"iron-age-round-house-the","title":"Iron Age Round-House, The","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn contrast to Continental Europe, where the Iron Age is abundantly represented by funerary remains as well as by hill-forts and major centres, the British Iron Age is mainly represented by its settlement sites, and especially by houses of circular ground-plan, apparently in marked contrast to the Central and Northern European tradition of rectangular houses.  In lowland Britain the evidence for timber round-houses comprises the footprint of post-holes or foundation\n\u003cbr\u003etrenches; in the Atlantic north and west, the remains of monumental stone-built houses survive as upstanding ruins, testimony to the building skills of Iron Age engineers and masons.  D. W. Harding's\n\u003cbr\u003efully illustrated study explores not just the architectural aspects of round-houses, but more importantly their role in the social, economic and ritual structure of their communities, and their significance as symbols of Iron Age society in the face of Romanization.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44156845785326,"sku":"9780199558575","price":241.82,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780199558575.jpg?v=1706227931","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/iron-age-round-house-the","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
