About
Archaeology or archeology[a] is the study of human activity through the recovery and analysis of material culture. The archaeological record consists of artifacts, architecture, biofacts or ecofacts, sites, and cultural landscapes.
Archaeology has various goals, which range from understanding culture history to reconstructing past lifeways to documenting and explaining changes in human societies through time.
The discipline involves surveying, excavation, and eventually analysis of data collected, to learn more about the past. In broad scope, archaeology relies on cross-disciplinary research. Read more...

Interesting read. Thanks for posting.
In case anyone does not know.
The swastika is an ancient symbol that was used in many different cultures for at least 5,000 years before Adolf Hitler made it the centerpiece of the Nazi flag.
To this day, it is a sacred symbol in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Odinism. It is a common sight on temples or houses in India or Indonesia. Swastikas also have an ancient history in Europe, appearing on artifacts from pre-Christian European cultures.

But during the Second Iron Age (450 to 52 B.C.), Creuzier-le-Neuf was at the crossroads of territorial occupation by the powerful Celtic Arverni, Aedui and Bituriges tribes.
Weโve had one Iron Age, yes. But what about Second Iron Age?
The sword is neat but I do actually want to hear more about what caused the end of the First Iron Age. I'm generally aware that Iron Ages are actually by region and population but I'm not sure how the area would actually lose the technology, they're surrounded by ancient iron sources and cultures.
Edit: it looks like they're separating Iron Ages by how prevalent bronze still was, not that that there was a loss of the technology. Okay, I guess, but you could just call it a transitionary period...

Yeah it feels like a misnomer to call it a second iron age; it's definitely misleading
