Complementary weapons became like new. advantages of the Pre-Germanic North included Baltic amber and [trans. Byock 2005, 108] societies favourably situated and organized to build seagoing vessels and recruit crews for long-distance maritime expeditions. An integral dimension of this long-term network was intense contact between the Indo-European dialects that became Celtic and those that became Germanic. The Celto-Germanic vocabulary—like the motifs shared by Iberian stelae and Scandinavian rock art—illuminates this interaction, opening a window onto the European Bronze Age. Much of the word stock can be analyzed as shared across still mutually intelligible dialects rather than borrowed between separate languages. In this respect, what is revealed resembles more the last gasp of Proto-Indo-European than a forerunner of the Celtic– Germanic confrontations of the post-Roman Migration Period and Viking Age. This 2020 edition puts into the public domain some first fruits of a cross-disciplinary research project that will continue until 2023. ‘A very important book. The most interesting and convincing about the shared linguistic-archaeological-genetic splits I have seen.’ KRISTIAN KRISTIANSEN [ 3 ] Acknowledgements This book was researched and written as part of the project Rock Art, Atlantic Europe, Words & Warriors (RAW) / Hällristningar, språk och maritim interaktion i Atlantiska Europa, based at the University of Gothenburg and funded by the Swedish Research Council (Vetenskaps rådet). I wish to thank all members of the RAW team for their help and feedback on all aspects of this work: Marta Díaz-Guardamino, Christian Horn, Bettina Schulz Paulsson, and Project Leader Johan Ling. Further thanks to Johan and also to Kristian Kristiansen for encouraging my visits and fruitful collaborations in Gothenburg since 2015. The linguistic work in this book also draws on the research of the Atlantic Europe in the Metal Ages (AEMA) Project, funded by the UK’s Arts and Humanities Research Council, which benefited greatly from the input of the other AEMA team members: Peter Bray, Kerri Cleary, Barry Cunliffe, Catriona Gibson, Neil Jakeman, and Raimund Karl. I am especially indebted to Fernando Fernández and Dagmar Wodtko for collecting Ancient Celtic linguistic evidence. Many thanks to Barry Cunliffe for discussions at early stages of this work and to Johan Ling and Jim Mallory who read full drafts of the text and offered many insightful comments and to Gwen Gruffudd for proofreading at typescript stage. I also wish to thank for their useful comments participants in the Indo-European Interfaces conference held in Uppsala in October 2020: Erik Elgh, Giulio Imberciadori, Anders Kaliff, Agnes Korn, Jenny Larsson, Peter Kahlke Olesen, and Paulus van Sluis. Remaining shortcomings and opinions expressed here are solely my responsibility. [ 4 ] CONTENTS §18.

There are no heights here over 300 metres and most of the land rises no higher than 100 metres. But there is considerable variety in relief and soil conditions. Several areas, like the Lüneburg Heath and the hills of Schleswig-Holstein, are diverse in both relief and landscape. There was until recent times a good deal of marshy ground in the northern parts of the great plain, and a broad belt of coastal marshland girds it on its northern flank. Several major rivers drain the plain, the Ems, Weser and Elbe flowing into the North Sea, the Oder and the Vistula into the Baltic. Their broad valleys offered attrac- tive areas for early settlement, as well as corridors of communication from south to north. The surface deposits on the lowland largely result from successive periods of glaciation. A major influence on relief are the ground moraines, comprising a stiff boulder clay which produces gently undu- lating plains or a terrain of small, steep-sided hills and hollows, the latter often containing small lakes and marshes, as in the area around Berlin. Other features of the relief are the hills left behind by terminal glacial moraines, the sinuous lakes which are the remains of melt-water, and the embayments created by the sea intruding behind a moraine.

Filología Griega y Lingüística Indoeuropea, Universidad Complutense de Madrid Abstract Although there is no direct extant record of the language spoken by any of the peoples of ancient Callaecia, some linguistic information can be recovered through the analysis of the names (personal names, names of deities, ethnonyms, and place-names) that occur in Latin inscriptions and in ancient Greek and Latin sources. These names prove the presence of speakers of a Celtic language in this area, but there are also names of other origins. Keywords Onomastics, place-names, Palaeohispanic languages, epigraphy, historical linguistics 1. Introduction1 In this paper I will try to provide a general overview of the linguistic situation in ancient Callaecia by analyzing the linguistic evidence provided both by the literary and the epigraphic sources available in this westernmost area of continental Europe.

The unambiguous evidence of the burial of women with cultic, warrior and high-status goods amongst the steppe cultures, exposed during the 1990s, has provided the material basis for challenging long-held assumptions concerning the universality of the gender norms with which our culture is familiar.
