Ewart Park Phase

The Ewart Park Phase refers to a period of the later Bronze Age in Britain.

It is named after a founder's hoard discovered in Ewart Park in Northumberland.

The period dates from 800 to 700 BC, preceded by the Wilburton complex in the south and the Wallington complex and Poldar phase in the north. There are several regional sub groups including the Carp's Tongue complex in the south east, the Llantwit-Stogursey tradition in south Wales, the Broadward complex in the Marches, the Heathery Burn tradition in the north and the Scottish Duddington , Covesea , and Ballimore traditions . The Irish parallel is the Dowris Phase.

Alloying metal with lead became a common practice during the period and numerous hoards date to this period. In common with the continental Hallstatt culture, horse harnesses and vehicle fittings were developed.

It was succeeded by the Llyn Fawr Phase which is analogous to Hallstatt C.
