Exploring Celtic Origins is the fruit of collaborative work by
researchers in archaeology, historical linguistics, and
archaeogenetics over the past ten years. This team works towards
the goal of a better understanding of the background in the Bronze
Age and Beaker Period of the people who emerge as Celts and
speakers of Celtic languages documented in the Iron Age and later
times. Led by Sir Barry Cunliffe and John Koch, the contributors
present multidisciplinary chapters in a lively user-friendly style,
aimed at accessibility for workers in the other fields, as well as
general readers. The collection stands as a pause to reflect on
ways forward at the moment of intellectual history when the
genome-wide sequencing of ancient DNA (a.k.a. ‘the archaeogenetic
revolution’) has suddenly changed everything in the study of
later European prehistory. How do we deal with what appears to be
an irreversible breach in the barrier between science and the
humanities? Exploring Celtic Origins includes colour maps and
illustrations and annotated Further Reading for all chapters.
