The site of Danebury has been the subject of detailed investigation for many years under the direction of one of British prehistory's most eminent archaeologists, Barry Cunliffe. Based on the huge amount of material recovered from the site, this book attempts to reconstruct many aspects of the lives and beliefs of Danebury's Celtic inhabitants from 500 BC until the arrival of the Romans.
