Publisher's Synopsis

This book concerns the four-wheeled wagons of the Early Iron Age and particularly the practice of wagon burial in Central Europe. It begins with a typological classification of the material from the Urnfield and Hallstatt Periods; the author then examines the technical aspects of wagon construction, and the information that may be gained about the role of the wagon through other sources including pictorial representations, wagon models, and horse-gear. The study brings to light a rich variety of evidence for the ceremonial use of the wagon, and places the wagon burials of the Hallstatt Period within a long European tradition of the use of wagons in cult.
