The Emergence of Europe's Iron Age and Celtic Languages

Europe's Iron Age, starting around 800 BC, was a period devoid of writing, leaving archaeological remains pivotal in understanding the era. The Celtic-speaking peoples beyond the Alps were termed Gai and Galatine by classical authors, linking Kelts to current Celtic languages like Irish. Migration proved to be a significant force shaping Europe, with the Hallstatt culture representing a wide-ranging network of elites connected through shared cultural practices and material goods.
