Speaker: Prof. Melanie Giles, University of Manchester. Archaeologist, specialising in European prehistory.

British chariot burials are almost confined to the Iron Age Arras culture associated with the Parisii tribe. Finds of such burials are rare, virtually all in the East Riding of Yorkshire, and the persons interred were presumably wealthy notables. 

Remote lecturer.
