Circular-shaped Iron Age Gallic Village discovered in Côtes dArmor, France
A major archaeological discovery has just been made at Cap dErquy, in the Côtes dArmor region, France. The ruins of a circular-shaped village dating from the Iron Age have been uncovered using revolutionary satellite imaging technology.
The village discovered at Cap dErquy consists of around twenty circular huts arranged around a central square. Archaeologists believe that this village was occupied between the 8th and 5th centuries BC by a Gallic community.
The area that the ancient Gauls called home included parts of western Germany, northern Italy, and Belgium in addition to present-day France. The Gauls, a Celtic people, were divided into multiple tribes and ruled by a landed class in their agricultural society.
The tribes throughout Gaul operated independently from one another and only united in times of crisis. Each tribe had its leaders and their religions. During the Gallic Wars (5850 BC), Julius Caesar led the Romans in their conquest of Gaul.
