Wow - thanks for linking to the article, I hadn't heard about that.
I haven't commented here before, but I've been visiting your blog for a while as you have some very interesting and thought-provoking posts - I have awarded you the Liebster Blog Award.
Thank YOU, very much! All I do sometimes is post links, sometimes commenting on their content, but I'm glad you liked that one. I found it fascinating as my setting, if not my period, and for the fact that women were buried amid the warriors. Trying to think when I've ever seen that, but apart from family-gridded cemetery sites it seems to me very rare.
One more hint that the people in Gaul placed much more value on women than as chattel, going back quite a long way. It's exciting when history displays society this way.
Thank you so much for commenting, and for coming. Please speak up any time (otherwise it's just me, my brother, and a very few friends!).
Thank you, too, for the award. Or should I say ... vielen dank ...
With the caveat that I haven't read in too much detail about the Iron Age for a while now, I can't think of any similar burials in Gaul - the only thing that comes to mind is this interesting, albeit slightly different, set of burials in the Balkans.
Thank you for the warm welcome. I really should comment more on the blogs I visit, actually; I'm a little remiss in that regard, especially as I've greatly enjoyed reading your recent writing drafts.

Well, commentary not *required* of course, but it would make things so much more interesting around here! :)
The events of Monday have distracted me from the Liebster award - I hope to get on that shortly. Thank you again so much.
