Celtic from the West: Alternative Perspectives from Archaeology, Genetics, Language and Literature
edited by Barry Cunliffe and John T. Koch
This book is an exploration of the new idea that the Celtic languages originated in the Atlantic Zone during the Bronze Age, approached from various perspectives: pro and con, archaeology, genetics, and philology. This 'Celtic Atlantic Bronze Age' theory represents a major departure from the long-established, but increasingly problematic scenario in which the story of the Ancient Celtic languages and that of peoples called Keltoí 'Celts' are ...

Tartessian 2: The Inscription of Mesas do Castelinho ro and the Verbal Complex. Preliminaries to Historical Phonology
by John T. Koch
The inscription from Mesas do Castelinho, south Portugal, was discovered in September 2008. With 82 readable signs it is now the longest of the corpus of 95 Tartessian inscriptions. These texts survive from the Early Iron Age in the south-western Iberian Peninsula, the earliest writing from Atlantic Europe. By recombining word roots, prefixes and endings previously attested, the new inscription permits a major breakthrough with the language, ...

Rethinking Celtic Art
edited by Duncan Garrow, Chris Gosden and J D Hill
The decorated metalwork from the later Iron Age and Roman periods has long been acknowledged as an important body of material, but has been mainly analysed in terms of its styles and continental links. It has often been known as 'Celtic art' and both of these terms are ripe for reconstruction. The term 'Celtic' has been much discussed, with the notion of 'art' relatively ignored. This volume focuses on this latter term. Given the interests ...

Landscape Perception in Early Celtic Literature
by Francesco Benozzo
This pioneering work shows how Celtic cultures understood the place of human beings in their natural environment in ways fundamentally different from our own, exploring the unique unfolding of landscapes in early Irish and Welsh texts, including Tain Bo Cuailgne, The Voyage of Bran, the Gododdin and the mythological Taliesin poem on the Battle of the Trees. 260p (Celtic Studies Publications 2003)

Myth and History: Ethnicity & Politics in the First Millennium British Isles
by Stephen James Yeates
Our recent understanding of British history has been slowly unravelling thanks to new techniques such as DNA analysis, new archaeological data and reassessment of the literary evidence. There are considerable problems in understanding the early history of Britain; sources for the centuries from the first Roman invasion to 1000 AD are few and contradictory, the archaeological record complex and there is little collaboration or agreement between ...

Die Waffen aus dem Oppidum von Manching
by Susanne Sievers
English summary: The approximately 800 weapons fragments from the oppidum of Manching, which covers over 300 years of settlement history, found their way into the ground for many different reasons. Partly it was through conscious deposits, partly simply due to loss. They stem from small-scale handiworks or are products of military action. A thorough interpretation based on a detailed analysis significantly contributes to the ...

Archæologia Britannica: Texts and Translations
by Edward Lhuyd, edited by Dewi W Evans and Brynley F Roberts
Edward Lhuyd's Archæologia Britannica effectively marks the discovery of the Celtic languages and the founding of Celtic Studies.

To celebrate the volume's 300th anniversary, Lhuyd's sectional prefaces are republished ...

Des Dieux gaulois: Petits essais de mythologie
by Patrice Lajoye
La religion gauloise est fort mal connue, et sa mythologie ne subsiste qu'à l'état de fragments épars. Le but de ce recueil d'essais n'est donc pas de révéler cette mythologie, mais d'en éclairer certains aspect, en comparant ce qui subsiste avec d'autres mythologies mieux connues, en essayant quelques hypothèses nouvelles, et surtout en rassemblant des informations sur des divinités qui parfois, n'avaient ...
