Feeling cut off

Would the 2,000 years old Ironage Melsonby (Yorkshire) hoard (over 800 items) be of interest? 

I found it interesting to learn that they had 4-wheeled carts and decorations demonstrating continental european techniques and red coral embellishments.

Both Durham University and Southampton University have been involved with the ongoing discovery and conservation studies.

How amazing that a hoard from one small site can change how we think about Iron Age Britain. I wonder if it’s significance is something other than a high status burial? There is no evidence of a grave or a cremation, yet the placement of the artefacts is similar to grave depositions in Denmark, France and Germany. So what was the significant event that led to this deposit? 

The artefact analysis reports that the burning of wealth as reflected in the hoard, could change how we think about wealth and status in Iron Age Britain.

I saw a report on the news regarding the find, didn’t know anything about it until seeing the posts here. Don’t really know much about Iron Age Britain. Strangely I’m listening to a fantasy book based on Iron Age Britain. 

I think archaeologists too are trying are trying to work out the culture.

There were some areas of Natufian culture spotted about the Levant prior to the Neolithic, but the period I am interested in 8300 - 4500BCE, generally hasn’t been defined by or named after one particular culture, it is only later that periods were defined by history in that part of the world, ie, Babylonian. The few earliest Neolithic farming settlements and villages share some similarities, but there are enough differences to make each unique. 

The chronology of the Near East doesn’t exactly match that of Northern Europe, so the Iron Age is about 1200 - 586BCE, just before the Babylonian and Persian periods, followed by the Greek and Roman periods. The Sumerian domination of Mesopotamia would have ended roughly around the end of the Iron Age.

Trying to think what cultures this could cover off? Not at all familiar with Neolithic era in the Levantt, I guess it was very tribal? Was the Iron Age before Romans, Greek?
