Abstract

The article discusses the discovery of two prominent early Celts buried in southwestern Germany around 510 B.C.E. The genetic analysis of their remains, along with other sets of remains in the region, suggests that power and status were inherited through the female line in this culture. The burial mounds of these early Celts, known as the Hallstatt culture, reflect a society at its peak, with connections to various regions and sophisticated settlements. The findings shed light on the leadership structure of this ancient society and challenge traditional notions of power inheritance. [Extracted from the article]
