Abstract
Over his career, Colin has worked on and around two of the major Iron Age centres of central Britain – Stanwick in North Yorkshire and Traprain Law in East Lothian. Both are unusual within their regional contexts in scale, activities, and their extensive contacts with the Roman world. In comparing and contrasting these two sites, I will consider the nature and effect of first contacts with the encroaching Roman world in central Britain. A particular focus will be on prestige metalwork and metalworking in the context of these Roman links
