Celtictool Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Is anyone else interested in creating a bibliography of works related to the archaeology of the Celts and/or other North Western European Iron Age peoples? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centurion-Macro Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 I would be interested in creating such a bibliography. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Neil Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 Well volunteered, you two! Would you be interested in purely academic works, or popular titles (dare I say 'coffee table books!) as well? I have a fair amount of both if you want me to send in my lists, ISBN's etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtictool Posted January 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Sorry to flame the thread, but I just found out about this new website called Phile.com I thought it could help us out with building a bibliography. Sure, we could continuously update a thread on here ending up with a variety of sources spread out amongst various pages, but with Phile we could use a sticky on the forum and from there we could have a link to Phile with ratings and comments. Take a look at this example: Archaeology in Europe please let me know what you all think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursus Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 I bought The Celtic World, which is an anthology of essays edited by Miranda Green. It is a rather expensive book, but I found it cheaply used on Amazon. It is very academic and not intended for the general reader. It is dry, long winded, and some of the topics are rather arcane. But those who have a keen interest in the Celts may find it rewarding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celtictool Posted February 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 I haven't read Miranda Green's version of the Celtic World. I really wish people would stop calling their books "The Celtic World" occasionally with something else added into it. A quick look at Google Scholar pulls up a list of books with that name as can be seen here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centurion-Macro Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 I am currently reading: "Celt And Roman" by Peter Berresford Ellis. It is a very interesting books, and focuses on the Celts in Italy, from the day the Romans encountered them to the day they were finally pushed out of the Po valley. It covers about 200 years of Celtic And Roman history and wars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celtictool Posted February 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Would you mind telling me how much archaeology it uses? Does it use more archaeology than written sources? Also, what's the bibliography like? Is it footnoted or written like a general bibliography to a popular work? I'm just asking as I'd like to compare these kinds of things for myself amongst a variety of works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centurion-Macro Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 It uses archeology a great deal, and it puts more emphasis on archeology than the written sources. It is not footnoted, although it has a lengthy bibliography at the back, with all the sources used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
