Paperback. This pocket guidebook tells the story of the very earliest days of Wales, tracing the development of its Celtic culture and peoples from the Iron Age through to its arrival as an independent nation in medieval times. Written to be accessible and interesting to the nonspecialist, the book draws on archaeology, literature, and history to explore a wide range of aspect of Celtic life in ancient Wales, including Druidism, war, farming, and even drinking habits. This new edition brings the books scholarship fully up to date and makes it available to a new generation of readers. The subject of "Celtic Wales" is the archaeological and historical evidence for human settlement in what is now Wales, from about 700BC - AD1000. This book puts Celtic Wales in its European context, and tackles issues of academic debate concerning "Celticity" and ethnic identity. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
