Abstract
Oxford Archaeology are one of the largest commercial units in British Archaeology and have produced an exemplary series of publications over the last twenty years. These two volumes represent a major contribution to what could be called the later prehistory of the middle Thames area, though Taplow lies to the south of the Goring Gap and Castle Hill and the Wittenhams to the north, so they are on either side of the boundary between the Middle and Upper Thames. The primary focus of the excavation of both sites is a substantial enclosure that straddles the Bronze to Iron Age transition. Both excavations also recovered vestigial remains of earlier prehistoric settlement and later historic activity but this will not be the principal focus for this review.
