Proto-Celtic Communities
Around 1300 BCE, intensive metalworking and long-distance amber trade began to connect proto-Celtic communities across Europe. This marked a significant development in the economic and social structures of these communities.
Intensive Metalworking
The proto-Celtic communities were skilled metalworkers, producing a wide range of goods from bronze and iron. This metalworking played a crucial role in their economy and society, and facilitated trade with other communities.
Long-Distance Amber Trade
Amber, a valuable resource, was traded over long distances by the proto-Celtic communities. This trade connected these communities with each other and with other cultures, fostering economic and cultural exchange.
