Celtic Origins to be studied at the University of Wales

The University of Wales Centre for advanced Welsh and Celtic Studies in Aberystwyth has received a grant to fund a three year project to investigate the origins of the Celts. The focus of the study will be to investigate the "Archeological background of the emergence of the Celtic languages in Western Europe".

Sir Barry Cunliffe, emeritus professor of European Archeology at Oxford University is also working on the project. According to the BBC, Cunliffe stated that the project will allow progress in understanding "Our Celtic heritage with Linguists and Archeologists working closely together in a way never before possible".
