註釋"Celtic art includes some of the most famous archaeological artefacts in the British Isles, such as the Battersea shield or the gold torcs from Snettisham. However, this body of material has usually been considered from an art historical point of view. Technologies of Enchantment? Exploring Celtic Art attempts to resituate Celtic art back within its archaeological context, looking at how it was made, used, and deposited. Based on the first comprehensive database of Celtic art objects in Britain, the book brings together current theories concerning the links between people and artefacts found in many areas of the social sciences with one of the richest archaeological datasets in prehistoric Britain. The authors argue that Celtic art was deliberately complex and ambiguous, being used to negotiate social position and relations in an inherently unstable later Iron Age world, and to develop new forms of identity and resistance with the coming of the Romans."--Jacket.
