Summary/Abstract: According to the present state of research, the majority of the scholars concluded that the settling of the Celtic communities in the eastern parts of the Carpathian Basin took place in the last third of the 4th century B.C., soon after 335 B.C. The habitat of these communities, organized around the social class of a military aristocracy is characterised by a pronounced rural aspect. The archaeological research from the settlements indicates a society with an economy based on agriculture, cereal and green goods’ culture, domestic industry and animal husbandry.
