#Durotriges #Welsh

#WyrdWednesday #HillfortsWednesday: `In #IronAge Britain a settlement on #HengistburyHead was established and the headland was cut off from the mainland by the construction of two banks and ditches called the Double Dykes, similar to those found at Maiden Castle. The earthworks consisted of an inner bank three metres high, with a ditch three and a half metres deep. An outer ditch six metres wide and two metres in depth is now obscured due to wind-blown deposits of sand and a gradual silting process. These defences turned Hengistbury Head into a fortified settlement area which seems to have grown over succeeding centuries until it became an important port of the #Durotriges.` #Celtic

Uit onderzoek van de Engelse universiteit van Bournemouth van genetisch materiaal van 57 in de late ijzertijd begraven leden van de Keltische #Durotriges stam in Zuid-Engeland blijkt dat deze stam was georganiseerd rond #vrouwen. Dit sluit aan op teksten van Romeinse schrijvers die de relatieve macht van #Keltische vrouwen opmerkelijk vonden.
