Abstract
This paper examines materialities of magic on Iron Age and Romano-British settlement sites. Using a few select case studies, this paper explores some interfaces between archaeological theory and praxis, and examines the problems of excavating and recording the potential evidence for ‘practical magic’ on developer-funded sites in Britain.
