Figures
1.1 Where is the source of the Danube?
2.1b Where was the evidence for celtic languages in classical times? [Data from Sims-Williams (2006),
figures 11.1
and 11.2. This is based on over 20,000 names analysed in a detailed one-degree square grid map. The contour lower cut-off misses some genuine celtic names outside the shading; percentages in northern France and Britain are under review.]
2.2 Gallo-Belgic coins and their British derivatives do not overlap later celtic stone inscriptions in the British Isles. [Celtic
inscriptions zones (
AD
400–1100) after Celtic Inscribed Stones Project (CISP) [
