The importance of this stage has recently been stressed by the appearance of a lavishly illustrated volume entitled the Dawn of Civilization, which traces the evolution of races in various parts of the world up to this stage. Not unnaturally a picture drawn on so vast a scale can devote little space to those peoples who came late into the light of civilization. It is proposed in this lecture to examine rather more closely this transition as it affected the Celtic peoples. Barbarism, the stage of self-sufficient food production, was the normal condition of western Europe during the Bronze Age. Civilization, implying a more complex social and economic organization, gradually pervades the Celtic world in the last centuries before and after the beginning of the present era. The Celtic world must first be defined. The use of the adjective implies that we are concerned with the geographical region inhabited by peoples who spoke one of the Celtic languages. This sets an upward limit to the thesis. Earlier than c. 500 B.C. there are no sure criteria by which peoples of Celtic speech can be identified; after that date identifications become increasingly clear. One point should be added: a Celtic people, as it is here proposed to use the term, may be an amalgam, only one element of which spoke a Celtic language.
