Armit Phase 2 (Early Iron Age) (29 ottob 750 anni a. C. – 3 marzo 200 anni a. C.)

Descrizione:

social hierarchies are much less overt. Control of land, stock, and agricultural production seems to have been more important than before, expressed through communal works, such as hillforts and settlements of all shapes and sizes, and powr seems to have been invested more in the community than in any well-defioned social elite. In many areas in many aeas infividualladholding families had a large degree of independnece, espressed in elaborate homesteads, crannogs and Atlantic Roundhouses. It was in this period of social fragmentation that tribal identities were probably forged. However, there seems to have been some gradual centralisation of power and by 300B some groups were sufficiently well organised to embark on great collective projects: the establishment of landscape boundaries, improvements to the land nd the deforestation of the uplands for agriculture.
