1. Who were they?

   • The “Celts” were warring tribes who certainly wouldn’t have seen themselves as one people at the time. for one thing the Celts were so fragmented and given to fighting among themselves that the idea of a concerted invasion would have been ludicrous.
     • Where did they come from?
       • The Celts were a group of peoples loosely tied by similar language, religion, and cultural expression. They were not centrally governed, and quite as happy to fight each other as any non-Celt

2. family life

   • The basic unit of Celtic life was the clan. Children were actually raised by foster parents. The foster father was often the brother of the birth-mother.

3. Housing

   • The Celts lived in huts of arched timber with walls of wicker and roofs of thatch. The huts were generally gathered in loose hamlets.

4. Religion

   • they held many of their religious ceremonies in woodland groves and near sacred water, such as wells and springs. The Romans speak of human sacrifice as being a part of Celtic religion.
     • Celtic warriors would cut off the heads of their enemies in battle and display them as trophies. They mounted heads in doorposts and hung them from their belts.

5. clothing

   • They might have looked like the tartan you see in Scotland and Ireland today, with checks and stripes. The Celts used berries and plants to dye the wool different colours.
   • Men would wear a tunic with a belt, a cloak and trousers. Women wore dresses fastened with brooches.

6. language

   • Continental
     • Gallo celtic languages: the Gaul, the Lepontic, the Galatian and the noric. Hispanic such as Celtiberian, western hispanic and luisitania.
   • Insular
     • As are the Breton, the Cornish, the Cambrian, the welsh, the Pictish, Scottish Gaelic, irish and manx.
