ABSTRACT

The culture in question may conveniently be termed the Windmill Hill culture1 after a site near Avebury, in Wiltshire. The site 2 was a sort of fortified camp surrounded by three ditches interrupted at frequent intervals by causeways. The pottery and other relics that define the culture come from the bottom of these ditches-from the primary silting. At higher levels in them so-called Peterborough ware and Beakers appear, still higher up later Bronze Age and Iron Age fabrics.
