On Some Buckets and Cauldrons of the Bronze and Early Iron Ages: The Nannau, Whigsborough, and Heathery Burn Bronze Buckets and the Colchester and London Cauldrons1

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  29 November 2011

Extract

The purpose of this paper is to present five large prehistoric bronze vessels, from Wales, Ireland, and the north and south of England, found at various dates from the early nineteenth century to 1932, but published as yet imperfectly or not at all, and to consider, with reference to their affinities abroad, their significance for these islands’ Late Bronze and earliest Iron Ages. The starting-point for any such study must in general be the article in Archaeologia, vol. lxxx, by the late E. T. Leeds. In the twenty-seven years since he wrote, new finds and new work have indeed supplemented and somewhat varied his conclusions, but they leave us still deeply in his debt.

The place was in any case close to Whigsborough, and was apparently either Dooros heath, which lies south-west of it—whence the inaccurate name ‘Dowris’—or else lay north-west of it, towards the lake but located otherwise only by a name ‘Derreens’, which is itself not now locatable.Google Scholar

page 136 note 1 Proc. R. Irish Acad. iv, 423 ff.; bucket, 425. Cooke lived at Birr and had acquired it and most of the hoard, which passed from him to the British Museum five years after this. Hodges, H. W. M., in his paper on Irish bronze hoards in Ulster Journ. of Arch. xx (1957), very kindly shown to us by him in advance of publication, regards the Dowris bronzes as ‘largely a collection of scrap to be re-used by a bronze-smith’ buried on what he suggests was a habitation-site of the period, whence its discoverers may have adulterated the collection with bronzes found elsewhere. There is nothing positive to support this view, but if correct it would still leave the Dowris assemblage a unity as acceptable as that of the Heathery Burn Cave finds (p. 149 below). Our treatment of it as essentially unitary will be found supported below by independent evidences that its chief components are all of the late eighth or earlier seventh centuries B.C. (pp. 151—60, 189).Google Scholar

page 137 note 4 The Childe-Hawkes attempt, in Proc. Prehist. Soc. 1948, to rename these ‘Bronze E’ and ‘Bronze F’ (as being industrially still Bronze stages like Bronze A—D) encounters the difficulty that ‘Bronze Age’ in South German terminology has come to mean ‘Pre-Urnfield Bronze Age’, so that its extension to cover Urnfield stages is felt as a contradiction in terms. Yet it is surely undesirable to use the same word ‘Hallstatt’ for pre-Iron Age Urnfield stages as for the Iron Age Hallstattian: that there is a cultural continuity is true, but it is not cultural identity. The evident solution is to number the Urnfield stages independently both of Bronze and of Hallstatt: it must naturally wait for agreement on what numbers they should get.

page 138 note 1 These are C and D because A and B have been used already for the preceding Urnfield stages; in terminologies without this peculiarity, they are just ‘older’ and ‘younger’ Hallstattian, or Hallstatt I and II.

page 138 note 3 For their persistence on certain later situlae, see ibid. 35–38. In strict language a situla is a high-shouldered bucket with an arc-shaped handle, hooked into loop-attachments; these are prominent in Italy, where this Latin name was first bestowed on them in the nineteenth century. They are, of course, derived from Kurd-Eimer, and an Italian will naturally call those also situle; yet the name's associations are everywhere predominantly Iron Age, and we have purposely avoided using it for our Kurd and Irish-British buckets.

page 148 note 1 Professor Stuart Piggott has drawn our attention to an eighteenth-century drawing in the Society's MSS. (Soc. Antiq. MSS. 265, p. 30), by William Stukeley, of a vessel from near Chester, otherwise unknown but here described by him as ‘a Rom. Camp Kettle found sometime agoe of Copper of this form’, the form being that of a bucket with Kurd-like neck and round-shouldered body, but with a pair of ring handles falling outside the rim, and either a pair of corrugations or else an applied band encircling it below the lip; staples are not shown, but was this an early and experimental Irish—British rendering of the type, replacing the Kurd handle-carriers by staples outside and not inside the rim? If so, this placing was soon abandoned for the inside position, which is invariable on extant Irish—British buckets.

page 148 note 2 European bronze shields of this culture and their outliers and derivatives have most lately been reviewed by Sprockhoff, in Jahrb. d. Röm.-Germ. Zentralmus. Mainz, i (1953/1954), 7377Google Scholar, with the result that their introduction here at this time seems really certain—including the U-indented ‘Herz-sprung’ type, whence the V-indented (Clonbrin) will have been a peripheral variant, as also in Spain (figurations on gravestones) and independently in the E. Mediterranean area. This supersedes Sprock-hoff's older account (Handelsgeschichte, 1930), and the intermediate views of MacWhite and of Hencken: Actas y Mem. de la Soc. Española de Antr., Etn. y Prehistoria, xxii (1947), 158 ff.; Estudios sobre las relaciones atlánticas de la Pen. Hispánica en la Edad del Bronce (Dis. Matr. II, 1951), 98 ff.; Journ. R. Soc. Antiq. Ireland, lxxxi, 6–8; Amer. Journ. of Arch. liv, 295 ff. (yet see further p. 180 below). Older shields will have had bronze studs at most, and seldom those. That the round bronze shield from Chatteris (Langwood Fen) in the Isle of Ely need not, as has been supposed, have been associated with the basal-looped Middle Bronze Age spearhead from the same place (i.e. same fen, but two finds) was first pointed out by Mr. H. W. M. Hodges in a paper read before the Society in December 1955. Affinity between shields and buckets can be seen further in their both having rims folded round a bronze wire stiffener.Google Scholar

VIII, 4) and of a third with two remaining angle-plates: see p. 152 below. For the Bagmoor hoard (Lincs.) see also p. 152.

In calling it here a ‘caldron’, Greenwell was using the word in the North Country collier's sense, denoting a coaltub or large bucket; this use was avoided by Evans (Anc. Bronze Impts. 412–14), doubtless to distinguish these ‘conical vessels’ or ‘vases’, as he called our buckets, from the ‘spheroidal caldrons’, i.e. the cauldrons considered here below. It should not be revived.Google Scholar

Seddin is in Brandenburg, but the North and West were certainly connected: the hilt of a North German kidney-sword, very like the one buried with this ‘king’, was in the Petit-Villatte hoard in central France, which also contained one of these phalerae (see p. 156, n. 1), and moreover hog-back knives of our ‘carp's-tongue sword’ complex too. Seddin is of Montelius period V and coeval with Late Urnfields, eighth century; the hilt was scrap at Petit-Villatte in the following century.

page 171 note 2 The contrary suggestions uttered tentatively at the end of Mrs. Maxwell-Hyslop's paper (op. cit. 165–6) can hardly be admitted. What range of dis agreement there may still be in the dating of the relevant Greek pottery is surely not wide enough to admit them; nor in any case can one alter the seventh-century dating of these tombs’ Phoenician or Cypro-Phoenician silver. Their Urartian bronzes were therefore old when buried. We are indebted to Dr. Hugh Hencken, F.S.A., for his views on this and various related topics. It should perhaps be added that nothing in all this commits one necessarily to belief in an Oriental origin for the Etruscans as a people; that belief, if held, has to be based in the first place on other grounds.

page 176 note 3 In Ireland the attribute of abundance pertaining to the Dagda (figure recognizable through the mythology as old god of Other-World) was an in exhaustible cauldron of good cheer; by such cauldrons supernatural banquet-halls were supplied; the Dagda himself (in another myth) had to gorge from an enormous cauldron; another, in Scotland, was filled daily with milk by the three magic cows of Echde; and in another, of three-man size, was contained the ‘hero's portion’ of wine and victuals awarded to Cúchullain. The cauldron's bounties could include also artistic inspiration, and even life itself. In the Welsh Mabinogi of Branwen the monstrous couple who emerge from a ‘Lake of the Cauldron’ in Ireland, the man with a cauldron on his back—thereafter brought to Anglesey: see Miss L. F. Chitty cited by Fox, Antiq. Journ. xix, 372, on this and the Llyn Fawr cauldrons—were primitively a goddess and her consort, and the cauldron could give resurrection to the dead, if put in it. These examples have been drawn from T. F. O'Rahilly's Early Irish History and Mythology (1946), and M. L. Sjoestedt's Gods and Heroes of the Celts (trans. Dillon, 1949). The high value, magic virtues, and vast size attributed to cauldrons in Irish texts are illustrated also by R. A. S. Macalister's quotations in The Archaeology of Ireland, 2nd ed. (1949), 217–19.

page 177 note 1 The medieval Lebor Gabála Erenn, the ‘Book of Invasionsof Ireland’, credits the first Irish cauldron to Brea, of the race of Partholon, which however is quite fictitious; later it brings the Dagda and his cauldron in among the Tuatha Dé Danann, again fictitiously, for these ‘people’ had all been gods, and their ‘invasion’ seems invented for this book. It is indeed curious that it should bring them from the ‘islands of Northern Greece’, where they had learnt all arts; and Leeds wondered if the story might echo the real contacts with Greeks and Greek cauldrons which he suggested archaeologically (Archaeologia, lxxx, 27). But the weapons that it also brings with them are again attributes of gods, the sword of Nuada and the spear of Lug, which apparently symbolize lightning, as does the Dagda's cauldron life and plenty. See the works cited in the preceding note: all this is myth, not history. The conclusion then will be no rationalizing invasion-theory, but simply that adoption of such material things as divine symbols must indicate a prestige for them; and that this, for the cauldron in Ireland, is likeliest to have accompanied it direct from the Mediterranean, where such vessels were revered already.

page 178 note 3 For the importance of native bronze industry in Sicily to the colonizing Greeks there, see the remarks of Dunbabin, T. J. in The Western Greeks (1948), 190–1. The Sicilian and then Greek in terest in the north-west was surely above all for tin, though there would doubtless be other things to buy as well. Gold is always possible; and if copper were offered too, Greeks trading here so early would not disdain it, seeing Sardinian copper cornered by the Phoenicians, and Etruscan purchaseable only against their (and more of other Greeks’) competition. The Etruscans indeed had all metals; but remoter barbarians would be cheaper sellers. The ideal solution was of course awaiting the Greeks in southern Spain, but they did not find it till 638: Herodotus, iv, 152.Google Scholar

The situla from Lentini in Sicily, with which Leeds suggested connecting it (ibid.), no doubt comes from North Italy (though Orsi, quoted by Leeds for this, said just the opposite: Bull. Paletn.

The forked rivet-plate faintly recalls those plates noticed above as reflecting the Oriental ‘siren’ form: p. 173, nn. 1–3. The cauldron in the same Museum from the Tomba dei Alari at Cervetri is closely similar, but lacks handles.Google Scholar

page 195 note 8 Mon. Antichi, xvii (1906), 323–4Google Scholar, fig. 240 (the associated pottery bowl not before this century), We are here indebted to Miss Benton. The handles show the ‘winged’ rivet-plate which stands as a reminder, noticed already in n. 5, of these cauldrons’ ultimately Oriental origin. That the inbent bodyform in great measure assimilated the profiles of the dinos and the old Greek lebes, so that despite their different handles the latter name is often used for all, we have noticed above, p. 174; see then again de Ridder, , Les Bronzes antiques de Louvre, ii (1915), pl. 93, esp. no. 2590, cauldron with inbent profile and four bronze ring-handles in reel-shaped staples, on which recall p. 173, with fig. 8, c (p. 168).Google Scholar

page 196 note 3 We are deeply indebted to Professors Dehn and Kimmig and Dr. Rieth, as directors of the Heuneburg excavations, for our invitation and reception there during the campaign of 1955. The excavations of course are still in progress; with Bittel, K. and Rieth, A., Die Heuneburg an der oberen Donau (1951)Google Scholar, must now be read the further interim reports in Germania, xxx (1952), 325–9Google Scholar, and xxxii (1954), 22–59. A brief summary thus far will be found in Antiq. Journ. xxxvi (1956), 9192.Google Scholar For the period in these regions altogether, see Zürn cited above, p. 193, n. 10 (comparing for Switzerland W.

page 197 note 1 This would probably hold true if what we got came directly out of France, where the La Colombe gryphon cauldron from Hallstattian Burgundy (p. 178: Dechelette, Manuel, ii, 2, fig. 221; further, W. Lamb, U. Jantzen, cited pp. 166, n. 1, 168, n. 2) shows what could have inspired local smiths there in the sixth century. But evidence, if there is any, has still to be gathered in. That the Continent outside the west-central Hallstatt D region has more in this matter to reveal is shown by the extraordinary cauldron lately found at Brå a in Jutland, with bull's heads and ring-handles recalling our Urartian and Mediterranean prototypes, which yet is La Tène work no earlier than c. 300, probably from Moravia, in the eastern Celtic province: see Ole Klindt-Jensen, Bronzekedelen fra Brå (Jysk Ark. Selsk. Skr. III, 1953), esp. 66 ff. But the western Celtic provinces give no hint of anything of that kind.
