A personal request to the EB team (and anyone else who can help)

Hello everyone,

I wanted to make a personal request to certain members of the EB team, and anyone else who can assist in this matter. As those of you who PM me are aware I am hoping to start studying for my doctorate in Archaeology in the next few years, for this I am hoping to identify the Belgic migration to Britain in the archaeological record. My main stumbling block at the moment is I have a lack of material concerning the continental Belgae.

I was thus wondering if the EB team members who worked on the Gallic factions could reveal what sources they used? Likewise if anyone can recommend any books which deal with Northern Gaul I would be extremely grateful.

Thank you for your time.

(Im aware that that EB bibliography thread exists but as far as I am aware nobody as recommended any material relating to the Belgae).

Dont be afraid to also look in books about pre-roman britain, my grandad helped in his younger days with excavations and had a great book looking into british life and the celts who settled in southern britain, sadly this old books has been long since lost otherwise i would give you the title. Dont just settle in books about celts a lot of (possibly nationalistic) authors who write britain.

The Celts of the West (Echoes of the ancient world) Venceslas Kruta, Werner Forman has some nice info on the Belgae, but I unfortunately have that book packed up along with the other Celtic books that I own. The Celts by Moscati, Szabo, Kruta (alrady mentioned above) is priceless, too, for the sheer amount of info it contains. There are not a whole lot out there specifically about the Belgae. There is a paper by Hans Kuhn, Rolf Hachmann and Georg Kossack called Völker zwischen Germanen und Kelten which has some interesting arguments that state, at least in the area the Netherlands and adjacent areas of Germany (the North-West bloc), that these inhabitants where neither Celt or German

Hope this helps a bit!
