Summary

In A Pocket Guide: Celtic Wales, Miranda Green and Ray Howell provide a wide-ranging and accessible introduction to a rich and complex phase of Waless past as they examine the archaeological and historical evidence for settlement in Wales from about 700 BC to AD 1000, a period which has long been labelled as Celtic. This well-illustrated book puts Celtic Wales in its European context and contributes to current debates on Celticity and ethnic identity.
