ABSTRACT

Trade and connectivity are generally considered at a high level and large scale, where as the productive industries which often fed exchange networks, have tended to be examined at a more intimate scale. The two milieus cannot exist in isolation from each other, but the articulation between the two has generally evaded consideration. This examination of Poole Harbour, Dorset during the Late Iron Age provides an example of a cluster of productive industries linked to regional and international trade networks providing the potential to consider those links. The picture which is provided is of complexity at local level rather than any overarching control or direction in production, and networks which coalesced over time from the personal actions and activity of individuals.

摘要

贸易和连通性通常被认为是高水平和大规模的，因为经常为交换网络提供食料的生产性行业倾向于更紧密地进行考察。这两个环境不能彼此孤立地存在，但是通常忽略了两者之间的衔接。这项铁器时代晚期对多塞特郡普尔港的考察提供了一个与区域和国际贸易网络相联系的生产性产业集群的示例，为探讨这些联系提供了可能。所提供的图景是地方层面的复杂性，而不是生产中的任何总体控制或指导，以及随着时间的流逝而从个人的个人行为和活动中合并的网络。
