Abstract
Fieldwork centred on Holme-on-Spalding Moor, East Yorkshire, has resulted in the discovery of an iron industry that may be the oldest and one of the largest so far found in Britain. Dating from the Middle Iron Age and continuing into the Romano-British period, this iron working is related to a former estuarine creek system and tidal inlet of the river Humber, in which the Hasholme log boat sank. It is
possible that control of the iron industry and/or its associated watercourses was a contributory factor to the wealth and prestige of the Arras Culture of East Yorkshire.
