Going through my old thesis chapters to remove Anglo-Saxon and put in Early English as an alternative, you see just how common this word is. In most publications on early medieval England and hell, even Anglo-Saxon England as a periodic publication of articles.

A massive issue these days. before you know it, you've got the wackos creep out :( Just a weeidea, tho. We had the issue of 'Celtic' as = (very white), Oirish elves, and twisted the name to La Tene Derivative, or Insular La Tene. Can something similar work in Early Med?

The problem is that it's not really about a definitive type of art style like La Tene. Plus looking at it from a historical period. There's a lot there: ethnic identity, kingdoms, various levels of identity all mixed up with a very racist academic historiography.

Although I know in the pre-historic stuff there are certain scholars who seem to cling to the Celtic stuff haha. Makes me go "hmmmm".

Ohhh you know where I stand on this!! It's not bloody 'Celtic' It takes in a massive fusion of cultures, and interpretations!

I’m definitely subtweeting someone at the moment when I say that using Celtic as an ethnic identity marker is completely ridiculous and yet. Not sure where you stand on the theory they were definitely matrilineal and women centred but that is also part of an argument I’ve seen.

I think there's a lot of new ideas and fresh eyes on old, battered material, and stimulating discussion and fair appraisals is always a great thing.
