‘CELTIC BRITAIN’ IN PRE‐ROMAN ARCHAEOLOGY, RECONSIDERED

Oxford Journal of Archaeology, Volume 44, Issue 4, Page 446-461, November 2025.
Summary For forty years archaeologists have avoided referring to pre‐Roman Britain and its inhabitants as ‘Celtic’ on the grounds that contemporaries never described them as such. This is incorrect.

Abstract The Hellenic forearc is one of the least understood forearc systems globally due to limited availability of high‐resolution imagery of its deep structure, especially landward of the Mediterranean Ridge. Here, we combine widely spaced high‐resolution multichannel seismic‐reflection profiles with seafloor morpho‐bathymetric analysis and ...
