Preface

T he present volume is the result of the International Colloquium held at Trgu Mure in 911 October 2009, entitled Iron Age Communities in the Carpathian Basin, and includes studies concerning the communities of the second half of the 1st millennium BC from the Carpathian Basin. Its theme continues the debates covered by the previous volume, concerning the communities of the Bronze Age from the same region (see ed. Berecki et al., Bronze Age Communities in the Carpathian Basin, Bibliotheca Mvsei Marisiensis, I), which also originates from another international meeting held in the same location.

h e main reason for choosing the Carpathian Basin as the central subject of both scientii c meetings is its particular status a region characterised by several contacts between western and eastern civiliza-tions, but also between the Mediterranean south and the temperate Europe, from prehistory until the mod-ern time. h is area is crossed by two major axes, the Danube a river which always was an essential route between Western and Eastern Europe, and the Amber Route which facilitated the economic and cultural connections between the Mediterranean space and distant populations from the Baltic shores.

h e chronological interval of the Iron Age was chosen mainly because of the signii cant accumula-tion of new archaeological data having the potential to of er new perspectives on the evolution of indigenous or newly come communities from this region. At the same time, both recent information and older results of the archaeological investigations are now integrated into a series of new interpretative models which of er the possibility to compare various cultural patterns from the Carpathian Basin with others recently proposed for dif erent contemporaneous geo-cultural entities from temperate Europe.

Last but not least, the chosen chronological interval was characterised by intense demographic, eco-nomic, social and spiritual dynamics, all having a major impact on the ways in which dif erent social and political entities from the Carpathian Basin dei ned themselves from an ethnic, political or military point of view before the Roman conquest. From this perspective, a series of careful and detailed investigations of the regional cultural interactions and interferences may reveal various mechanisms through which such communal identities were constructed, and also many cultural practices through which these characteristics were expressed.

In the present volume are included articles written by archaeologists from ten countries, covering a variety of subjects: studies concerning the circulation of dif erent specii c artefacts, technologies or decora-tive motifs on smaller or larger areas of the Carpathian Basin, case-studies or syntheses concerning par-ticular cemeteries or rural and fortii ed settlements, detailed analyses of the building techniques of certain communities, studies concerning particular ceramic categories, weaponry or jewellery, analyses of certain funerary practices. h e list also includes some inter-disciplinary studies involving the use of aerial photog-raphy, archaeozoology and isotope analyses.

First, we would like to thank all the participants in the Colloquium (T. Bader, Z. Czajlik, M. Egri, I. V. Ferencz, M. Gutin, M. Hauschild, M. Jevti, B. Kri, M. Ljutina, V. and R. Megaw, J. G.

Keywords: Celtic migrations, mobility, isotope analysis, foreignness, east expansion

h is article gives a short insight into an interdisciplinary project about Mobility and Migration in the La Tne Period, which has recently started in Germany.1 h e research is done by colleagues from the departments of Vor- und Frhgeschichte and Anthropologie at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz as well as the Rmisch-Germanisches Zentralmuseum in Mainz. h e aim of this Iron Age project, conducted by archaeology and anthropology, is to i nd evidence for indigenous and foreign individuals. Isotope analysis will show character and complexity of mobility and migration in selected landscapes of the core and expansion area of the La Tne culture. h e so-called Celtic Migrations in the 4th and 3rd century BC are the historical background. During this time the La Tne culture expanded from its main area in Central Europe to Southern France, Northern Italy, the Danube region and Romania. h e Celts extended their area to Greece and even reached Asia Minor (Fig. 7). But is this expansion of the La Tne culture identical with the historical Celtic Migrations?

Greek and Roman authors wrote about the Celtic Migrations. h ey inform us about military events, associated with the Celtic expansion and the participation of Celtic mercenary soldiers in all historically transmitted warlike conl icts during these times (Tomaschitz 2002, Dobesch 2001, 693). h e oldest Celtic raids are mentioned by Polybios (Hist. II, 1834). Furthermore, most antique authors associate them with the conquest of Rome (Liv. 110; Plut. Cam. 22, 4; Diod. 1920). Ancient sources about the prehistoric settlements in the Carpathian region are only fragmentary transmitted. Reports about the Celtic expansion to east into the middle Danube area and the Carpathian Basin are detectable in the works of Titus Livius and Pompeius Trogus. In his wandering legend of Ambicatus, Livy men-tions two simultaneous movements (Liv. V, 34): one to Italy and the other in an eastward direction into the Hercynian forest. Ambicatus, the king of the Bituriges, faced overpopulation in his empire and thus dismissed his two nephews Bellovesus and Segovesus. Instructed by the oracle, Segovesus moved into the Hercynian forest with a band of warriors, while Bellovesus and his troop invaded Northern Italy. Hercynia silva is the ancient term for the whole low mountain area from east of the Rhine to north of the Danube. h erefore the Celts way through the middle Danube area into the Carpathian Basin can-

not be located exactly. We can only i gure out, that a wandering of Celtic tribes to the east took place. Pompeius Trogus dated the eastern expansion by mentioning this event parallel to the Celtic invasion into Italy, therefore at the beginning of the 4th century BC (Iust. XXIV, 4). At that time the Gauls assaulted Rome about 385 BC and coevally a Celtic migration to Pannonia took place. Additionally, in the 4th cen-tury BC, antique authors frequently report on the harassment of the Scythians from the north-east.

Although the historical tradition about a i rst Celtic immigration into the present-day Transylvania at the beginning of the 4th century BC is acceptable, we do not get any information about the exact processes in the CarpathianDanube area. h e Geography of Ptolemy (III, 8, 3; III, 10, 3) alludes a diversity of Celtic tribes, among them Anarti, Taurisci and Brigolatii in Northern Dacia. For the 3rd cen-tury BC ancient authors mention Celtic raids through the Balkan area and to Asia Minor as well as the plundering of the Greek colonies along the Ionic coast like the sack of Delphi in 279 BC. But what do we really know?

Archaeological sources suggest a i rst appearance of La Tne culture in the Middle Danube region already at the end of the 5th century BC (Zirra 1991; Szab 1998, 5152). h e CarpathianDanube area was during the late Hallstatt period already com-plexly populated with the presence of dif-ferent cultures, which developed during the early La Tne period from a substrate of dif-ferent groups of population. Objects of early

La Tne character date a i rst appearance of Celtic immigrants in the CarpathianDanube area, among them i bulae of early La Tne type like Dux, Mnsingen or Certosa type, brace-lets with Steckverschluss or Stempelenden, Hohlringe and Hohlbuckelringe in bronze, typical La Tne weapons, snal es as well as wheel turned pottery (Fig. 1; Zirra 1971; Zirra 1975; Crian 1978; Zirra 1981; Berecki 2008). In Romania the geographical distribution of l at cemeteries with La Tne inventory seem to show the access way of the i rst Celtic immigrants during the second half of the 4th century BC through the Mure val-ley into the area of the Carpathians (Ferencz 2007; Rustoiu 2008). h e Celts settled in close contact to the Scythians, Geto-Dacians, h racians and Illyrians (Fig. 2). At the begin-ning of the middle La Tne, jewellery objects with own style developments refer to the for-mation of an eastern La Tne culture. Fibulae and ring jewellery with ornaments of false-i ligree show a development of an autono-mous eastern art style, which probably was adopted during the Celtic remigration from the h racian-Illyrian area (Fig. 3; Szab 1975; Tonkova 2006). h eir workshops are sup-posed in the Middle Danube region but could not be located exactly until now.

h e fact, that antique literature shows the Celts as wandering tribes and mercenar-ies, frequently tempts to wrong ideas about the real processes and backgrounds of migration. h e historical sources suggest the picture of a large groups movement, whereby the term migration is ot en connected with an inva-sion of population. In the 19th century a trans-i gured picture of the Celtic invasion still existed, visible in the creations of contempo-rary painters like the drawing of Brennus and his Booties by Paul Joseph Jamin (Fig. 4).

Today we must consider that this is usually an emigration of small parts of tribal communities, small groups or only single per-sons. Highly mobile individuals are for exam-ple young men, warriors or traders. In stable communities a certain mobility of individuals always is an inherent part of the population. h erefore migration consists of more complex processes as only the historical sources could establish to (Prien 2005).

We have to distinguish between mobility and migration. Mobility is the movement of single persons or groups over small or larger distance for dif erent purposes with the intention for returning to the place of departure. Migration on the contrary is the mobility of single persons or groups with a

Republic (Moscati 1991, 318).

change of location over larger distance with the intention for a permanent settle down at the destination (Ramsl 2003).

Precondition for migration is the existence of a permanent not regularly mobile population, which changes location due to resettlement. By contrast, regular mobility is about groups or persons, who never or only particularly settle down. Examples can be found in nomadism, the seasonal change of locations, in wandering crat smen or traders but also in the mercenary soldiers. h e wander-ing of groups with a following settlement in developed landscapes, or also the marry-in into a family of another tribe is to understand as migration.

Changes and dif erences within the settlement in landscapes are signii cant for mobility or migra-tion. Unfortunately for the 4th and 3rd century BC only few regions are explored for settlements in detail. Archaeological evidence for the time of the Celtic Migrations can be seen in the l at cemeteries, which are representative for the period of LT B (Krmer 1985, 1647; Eggl 2003). h e inventory of graves is the key to each individual. On the basis of grave goods foreignness due to mobility is decucible. But we are detecting the mobility of objects and manners instead of the buried persons themselves (Pollex Et Al. 2005). It is dii cult or even impossible to exactly determine the ethnical identity of individu-als based on several objects. Such objects could be brought in by way of exchange or trade (Brather 2004). For recognizing foreignness, dif erences in cultural assets as well as a signii cant change in funeral traditions must be available. Precondition is the existence of dif erent civilizations with dif erent mate-rial (Fig. 5). Only in this case it will be possible to distinguish between regional i nding territories within potential foreign and indigenous individuals.

Bioarchaeometric research, a subdiscipline of anthropology, is able to detect foreign individuals. A combination of archaeological and bioarchaeometric data is therefore necessary to verify foreign and

local individuals as extension of mobility and migration (Ttken Et Al. 2008). Scientii c analyses can show a change of residence by one single individual between two geologically dif erent dei ned regions (Knipper 2004). h e isotope analysis allows a certain evidence of indigenous as well as immigrated persons within a local community. Individuals, who are identii ed as immigrants, furthermore can be studied for their potential place of origin. In this case it is only detectable from which geological range an individual came if the area has a diverse geology, but it is dii cult to establish where an individual exactly immigrated from. In the same way it is detectable whether individuals all together migrated from a certain region or otherwise from dif erent geographical areas and the date of changing localities is verii able, as well. h e analysis is conducted on the basis of stable isotopes of heavy and light elements like strontium, lead, oxygen or sulphur, which are picked up with the food by people and animals and taken up through the food chain (Bentley 2006). h e anthropological research is mainly based on the assignment of strontium and oxygen isotopes. Scientii c analysing methods allow us nowadays to gain

relevant data from bone material: as evidence for mobility, the isotope signal from dental enamel will be compared to the isotope signal of the environment, in which the individual was buried. As the dental enamel of an individual indicates the environment during his childhood, it is detectable whether this person migrated to another area later in his life. Strontium data from the bone collagen on the other hand give us an idea of the local environment, in which an individual was buried (Fig. 6). Furthermore morphological and genetic markers give more information on his origin.

In the course of the research project about 16 cemeteries will be analysed. h e locations are distributed from the core to the expansion area of the La Tne culture (Fig. 7). h ese selected locations are key-places of discovery, which means the cemeteries are of superior scientii c importance within their region. Further criteria are, whenever possible, a high number of LT B graves as well as the use by more than one generation. To gain signii cant evidence, the geological relation of the selected cemeter-ies must also be regarded. An important selection criterion for the graves particularly examined is the occurrence of regionally signii cant grave goods, which are wide distributed, in combination with well preserved skeletal remains, including teeth. h at is why bone preservation restricts the selection consid-erably. Some locations from Southern Germany, Switzerland, Bohemia and Northern Italy are currently analyzed. For the eastern expansion area, samples from Hungary have already been taken. Examinations still are outstanding for Romania. h e cemetery of Picolt of ers interesting research approaches.

An important location within the core area of La Tne culture is the cemetery of Gufelden-Nebringen in Southern Germany (Krmer 1964). h is necropolis probably belonged to a small commu-nity or several small homesteads, maybe of families. First results of isotope analyses detected a high number of mobile people, among them warriors, women and children. h e cemetery is characterized by rich jewel i ttings in female graves. Common additions are precious neck rings, so-called Scheibenhalsringe. h eir close distribution suggests their origin within the Upper Rhine area (Fig. 8; Mller 1989). Some exam-ples were also found in the eastern expansion area, for example in the cemetery of Picolt in Romania (Nmeti 1988; 1989; 1992; 1993; Zirra 1998). In the Middle Danube area, as well as in the Carpathian Basin this kind of neck rings is very unusual. h is fact suggests that Scheibenhalsringe may be traces of a Celtic migration from the Upper Rhine region into the east. In the l at cemetery of Picolt, excavated by J. Nmeti in 1970, almost 200 graves of LT B had been discovered, among them cremation as well as inhumation buri-als. Picolt grave 108, in which a female person was buried with such a Scheibenhalsring, of ers interest-ing questions for future studies (Nmeti 1993). h e graves inventory seems to include foreign as well as local elements: Beside the neck ring (Fig. 9/1), eight i bulae Dux and Mnsingen type (Fig. 9/29) and a pair of Hohlbuckelringe (Fig. 9/1011) can be identii ed as characteristic La Tne jewellery. Two wheel turned ceramic vessels are also typical elements of Celtic pottery (Fig. 9/1314). Only a one-handled vessel can be identii ed as indigenous Geto-Dacian pottery (Fig. 9/15; Zirra 1976; 1978).

If this woman from the grave 108 can be identii ed by strontium isotope analysis as a foreign individual, which model of mobility or migration is to prefer? Did she marry-in? And if so, did she migrate alone or perhaps with the whole family? If she can be identii ed as a local individual, was she born as a member of the autochthonous population and integrated into Celtic society? Or was she the local born child of a i rst generation Celtic group, which set out this cemetery? Which population has been dominant in this region? Is the cemetery of Picolt a proof for a peaceable coexistence of dif erent populations in this time? Or can we still speak about a Celtic invasion to the east? And what about the social status of this buried woman? Only a few persons were outi tted with such valuable jewellery like a Scheibenhalsring with coral elements. h e red coral has been imported since the Early Iron Age from the Mediterranean area and already had been favoured in rich i tted graves of the late Hallstatt and early La Tne period, especially in the burials of princely seats (Koenig 1987; Mller 1989, 1718). During the 4th and 3rd centuries BC Scheibenhalsringe with coral inlays became more rare in contrast to objects with elements of enamel or red glass.

Many questions result from all the cemeteries we have to analyse. Graves with mixed inventory may indicate a coexistence of dif erent cultures. h e cemetery of Picolt of ers a wide spectrum of burial git s, which include not only Celtic elements but also Scythian and Dacian i nds.

Finally, the following questions remain:Are the Celtic Migrations verii able? Yes, they are. But before we can speak about migration,

we i rst have to verify mobility in a smaller context. h e Celtic Migrations, like ancient sources tell us about, are very complex. Mobility and migration of foreign individuals are known as archaeological and historical hypotheses, which until now have not been verii able. Within an interdisciplinary col-laboration of archaeology and anthropology, it is possible to verify or falsify these hypotheses. h en, in a second step, it can be possible to detect migration. h ereby, it is necessary to i nd the real background and reasons for such an important period, which let many traces in history and archaeology.

Which models about mobility and migration are possible? Reconstructing the real processes will be subject of an intensive research. Warrior graves with characteristic La Tne weaponry like sword, lance, shield and more rarely with helmet seem to document a Celtic military aristocracy with high mobility (SzabPetres 1992; Szab 1995; Ginoux 2003). But what can we i nd out about the remaining part of the community? Are there any other social or hierarchic groups detectable? Did probably complete families travel over long distance to settle down in newly explored territory? Or could it be a matter of marry-in into indigenous societies, thus new connections to foreign landscapes were possible?

And last but not least, there will remain the same question: What happened with a population, which was confronted with indigenous people? Can we speak about a celticised autochthon popula-tion? Or have Celtic people been assimilated? Was there a peaceful coexistence between dif erent tribes or communities?

A specii c search for foreign people in settled landscapes of the expanded La Tne culture as well as in the contact areas towards the neighbouring cultures like Scythians, Dacians or h racians might visualize processes of mobility and migration. h e resulting questions are complex. An interdisciplinary research based on archaeology and anthropology as well as on further sciences like geology enables the reconstruction of models regarding the settlements from dif erent areas. Recognizing foreign and indig-enous individuals will hopefully give some answers in the future.
