Resumo

A descoberta de ferramentas associadas à metalurgia e carpintaria na Idade do Ferro bretã é relativamente esparsa. Achados do tipo são encontrados em assentamentos, em tesouros ocultados e, às vezes, em cemitérios. Este artigo aborda a deposição de ferramentas, como tenazes, limas, martelos e outros, analisando contextos funerários encontrados em King Harry Lane (Hertfordshire), Whitcombe (Dorset), Rudston e Burton Fleming (East Yorkshire). Baseando-se em discussões prévias sobre a metalurgia e as ferramentas da Idade do Ferro bretã, como os estudos de Ehrenreich, Fell, Giles e Halkon, a pesquisa incorpora casos encontrados no continente, nas regiões francesas da Normandia e Val-d'Oise, onde sepultamentos com ferramentas ocorrem desde o século III a.C.. O artigo busca demonstrar como a deposição de ferramentas se tornou um mecanismo para expressar mensagens poderosas durante os séculos I a.C./d.C. na Grã-Bretanha, particularmente, associado ao gênero masculino.
