National Geographic Investigates: Ancient Celts

Ancient Celts explores how archaeologists piece together the mysterious history of the Celtic peoples, who spread from the Black Sea to Ireland but left little written record of their own. Readers examine artifact-rich burial grounds, mummified bog bodies, and intricate gold jewelry while National Geographic's signature maps and timelines trace Celtic culture from 800 B.C. through A.D. 500. This is a valuable choice for students because it models how historians and scientists build knowledge of the past from physical evidence rather than written texts.
