Beyond the Aegean, some of the earliest written records of Europe come from the
south-west, what is now southern Portugal and south-west Spain. Herodotus, the
'Father of History', locates the Keltoi or 'Celts' in this region, as neighbours of the
Kunetes of the Algarve. He calls the latter the 'westernmost people of Europe'.
However, modern scholars have been disinclined - until recently - to consider the
possibility that the south-western inscriptions and other early linguistic evidence
from the kingdom of Tartessos were Celtic. This book shows how much of this
material closely resembles the attested Celtic languages: Celtiberian (spoken in eastcentral Spain) and Gaulish, as well as the longer surviving langiages of Ireland,
Britain and Brittany. In many cases, the 85 Tartessian inscriptions of the period c.
750-c. 450 BC can now be read as complete statements written in an Ancient Celtic language..
