Celtic archaeology

Celtic archaeology studies the ancient peoples known as the Celts, who inhabited parts of Europe from around 1200 BCE to the early centuries CE. It explores their art, metalwork, tools, settlements, and burial practices to understand their culture, beliefs, and social structures. Archaeologists analyze artifacts like jewelry, weapons, and pottery, as well as sacred sites such as hillforts and tombs. This helps reveal how the Celts lived, traded, and interacted with their environment, providing insights into their complex societies and their influence on European history.
