The Bronze Age and the Celtic World

"The Bronze Age and the Celtic World" by Harold Peake, explores the prehistoric era of Celtic lands, particularly during the Bronze Age, by focusing on how Celtic languages and cultures evolved and expanded through metallic trade. Designed for those fascinated by archaeology and early European prehistory, the book highlights the impact of ancient cultures on modern ideas about Celtic origins and discusses how the Celtic languages, though now mostly in northwest Europe, were once more widespread until Roman influence caused the language's decline. Peake's study combines prehistoric archaeology, physical anthropology, and philology to investigate Celtic roots and their relationships with other cultures over time.
