Overview

This new book combines the latest discoveries with Professor Howell's decades-long study of the Iron Age in Wales to provide a new understanding of the Celtic peoples of South Wales. Readers will encounter a complex and sophisticated society and will then see how that society responded to the Roman invasion and occupation of their territory before considering the nature of the post-Roman world which followed. Professor Howell concludes by outlining a new programme of research, building on recent discoveries, which can take us even further in understanding these fascinating, if at times, enigmatic people.

He has directed numerous excavations and has contributed to archaeological programmes on the BBC, Discovery Channel, Australian Broadcasting Corporation, S4C and Smithsonian Channel, as well as on Channel 4's Time Team.

Ray's lectures and field trips, when he and I were colleagues at Newport, were always entertaining as well as scholarly, a happy combination that hooked students from all kinds of backgrounds. His book, crammed with knowledge and peppered with trenchant, often hilarious anecdotes, exemplifies this approach. -- Miranda Aldhouse Green * Current Archaeology Magazine *
