Acknowledgments

I would like to acknowledge the people who have made this study possible: my technical team who assisted with different aspects and stages of this project - Andrew Fairbairn, Steven Ellis, Pat Faulkner, Paul Newson and Chris Blackall; the excavators and cataloguers of these forts - especially Professor Hans Schönberger, Drs Norbert Hanel and Werner Zanier; and other colleagues who have generously provided advice and support, in particular Prof. von Schnurbein, Dr Carol van Driel-Murray, Dr Sebastian Sommers, and Dr Astrid Böhme-Schönberger. I am also grateful to the participants in the session and workshop at the Australian Archeometry conference in Canberra in 2005, and at research seminars at the University of Queensland, the University of Leicester and the University of Wales (Lampeter) for their questions and comments on earlier versions of this article. Finally I would like to thank the Australian Research Council for funding this research. All plots in this article are currently being produced as on-line ArcIMS plots by the Archaeology Data Service (University of York).
