Archaeological, Cultural and Linguistic Heritage
More than 50 authors, from many countries, have contributed to this impressive volume which honours Erzsébet Jerem, founder and longtime editor of Archaeolingua's publications. Its main focus is on the archaeology of Hungary and adjacent regions, with particular stress on Iron Age cultural elements which, from an archaeological point of view, may be labelled Celtic. Many of the contributions take linguistic, philological or epigraphic approaches to deal, in an interdisciplinary way, with problems concerning Celtic Studies as a whole or in detail.

Proceedings of the International Archaeological Conference at Szazhalombatta, 3-7 October 1996. This collection focuses particularly on environmental and experimental archaeology, never before discussed in professional meetings in Hungary.

Readers have often taken such encounters to be merely figurative or fanciful, but Susan Crane discovers that these scenes of interaction are firmly grounded in the intimate cohabitation with ...
Celtic Art in Europe
The ancient Celtic world evokes debate, discussion, romanticism and mythicism. On the one hand it represents a specialist area of archaeological interest, on the other, it has a wide general appeal. The Celtic world is accessible through archaeology, history, linguistics and art history. Of these disciplines, art history offers the most direct message to a wider audience. This volume of 37 papers brings together a truly international group of pre-eminent specialists in the field of Celtic art and Celtic studies. It is a benchmark volume the like of which has not been seen since the publication of Paul Jacobsthal’s Early Celtic Art in 1944. The papers chart the history of attempts to unders...
