Description:
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.
