Description
Famed for its strikingly rugged landscape, the small nation of Waleswhich comprises six distinctive regionswas one of Celtic Europe's most prominent political & cultural centers, & it retains aspects of culture that are markedly different from those of its English neighbors. Some coastal caves in Wales were occupied about 200,000 years ago, during the Paleolithic Period (Old Stone Age). Additional waves of settlers arrived from continental Europe & lowland Britain during the Neolithic Period (New Stone Age) & Bronze Age, & iron-wielding Celtic peoples invaded after 2000 BCE. The basic culture of these peoples survived the Roman occupation & was later strengthened & broadened by Celtic immigrations from other parts of Britain Each item begins as a piece of sheet metal, copper, bronze, brass or nickel.
