For centuries, the earliest settlers of the British Isles and Western Europe have been a topic of fascination and conversation. In this hour-long class, we will closely examine the ancient Celts. There are so many myths and legends attributed and misattributed to the 'Celtic' label, and we will dive into the most popular of them to reach the truth. Applying the most up-to-date research and discoveries of Celtic archaeologists, historians, and linguists, students will leave this class with newfound confidence and clarity to answer, 'Who were the Celts?'
