Celts from antiquity

Authors:Gillian Carr, Simon Stoddart

Summary:The second in the series bringing together papers from 75 years of the distinguished archaeological journal Antiquity, turns its attention to the Celts. As the editors set out in the introduction, the term 'Celtic' is problematic, and this volume essentially addresses 1st millennium BC in Europe, including discussion of the definition of the term 'Celticity' along the way. There are twenty-six papers divided into four sections: 'Celticity', Continental Europe, The southern British Iron Age, and The Scottish Iron Age
