ABSTRACT
Danebury, with the remnants of the clump of trees planted on its crown in the 19th century, is a prominent landmark. Funding for the excavation came from various sources, but the greater part was provided by the local and national governments. Pottery was found in considerable quantity: in all, some 158,000 sherds were recovered, all from well-stratified contexts. The peripheral zone behind the rampart was occupied by circular houses and their outbuildings, storage structures, and yards, and even after the rampart was extensively heightened in ca. 350 B.C. — an act which created a wide and irregular quarry hollow all along bank of the extended rampart — the same zone continued to be used for habitation. From the beginning of the Danebury Project, the people realized that the hillfort had to be considered within its broader landscape, and, accordingly, a landscape survey was set up.
