The appendices include: a detailed time chart of key events in Celtic history from 800 BC to AD 1000, an atlas of Celtic sites and museums, and a Who's Who in the Celtic World. The Atlas of the Celts includes a foreword by Dr Barry Raftery, Professor of Celtic Studies at University College Dublin. Dr Raftery acted as principal consultant editor on the Atlas of the Celts. Additonal consultation was provided by Dr Jane McIntosh of the University of Cambridge. The consultants have ensured that the Atlas of the Celts provides an up~to~date approach to the history of the Celts, discussing the various modern debates within Celtic studies. The Atlas of the Celts examines the changing meaning of Celtic identity, bringing together history, archaeology, and linguistics to create a clearer picture of 'Celticity'.
