Biography of Power: Research and Excavations at the Iron Age 'oppidum' of Bagendon, Gloucestershire (1979-2017)
«
'...the excavation results and then the wider discussions are synergetic and demonstrate that the Bagendon project's methodology of a landscape approach is a powerful tool in developing an understanding of the change and continuity that underlies the mechanisms of power and place in the dynamic socio-political landscape of the Late Iron Age and Early Roman interlude. This is a major personal and academic achievement for Tom Moore and for the many organisations who enabled the individual stages of the work through the 'mosaic' funding.'

'..."A Biography of Power" is an exemplary template for comprehensive studies of the oppidum of Bagendon, the quality of which future research must be measured against. The accumulated expertise, good readability and the numerous high-quality illustrations will certainly contribute to the fact that this site will also attract more international attention.' – Katja Winger (2021): Germania 99
