RĂZBOINICII CELŢI DIN TRANSILVANIA. MODELE CULTURALE ŞI IDENTITARE ÎN A DOUA VÂRSTĂ A FIERULUI
CELTIC WARRIORS FROM TRANSYLVANIA. CULTURAL AND IDENTITY MODELS DURING THE SECOND IRON AGE

Summary/Abstract: Archaeologists, and generally the specialists in social sciences, have increasingly focused during the last two or three decades on the notion of identity. Their studies investigated aspects concerning the relationships (ethnic, social, political, professional, religious, sexual etc) established between different human groups, who are considering themselves and are perceived by others from outside these groups as culturally distinct. The identity of a group is expressed through distinct modalities of manipulating symbols and transmitting, either within the group or outside it, information and images which can be recognised and coherently “read” by “others”. Thus, a series of archaeological “events” may be interpreted from another perspective, different from the traditional one. The present study will analyse the way in which the Celtic warriors from Transylvania constructed their identity within their own social group and in relationship with the rest of their community. Therefore, a series of significant archaeological evidence, which may be interpreted in this way, will be investigated.
