• Resumen

  • This paper introduces the preliminary results of current PhD research, looking into the recognition and use of animals and humans in La Tène art in England and Wales. A key aim is to relate the art back to the society that produced it by taking a less theoretically driven approach and taking into account a larger corpus of finds, which include many recorded by the Portable Antiquities Scheme. This paper highlights the issues researchers face in studying La Tène art and will then present the preliminary results of the use of the representations of cattle. This paper illustrates the need to reconsider the balance between theory and data and opens a new window into the potential relationship between later Iron Age society and their animals.
