> Studies of matches in the Atlantic Zone of Western Europe
> 
> On June 9-10, 2011, the CRBC (Centre de Recherche Bretonne et 
> Celtique) will organize at the University of Brest (Brittany, France) an 
> international conference which will bring together several researchers 
> (archaeologists, linguists, geneticists) who will compare their viewpoints on 
> the connections between the populations living in Atlantic Europe and the 
> languages spoken there from the late Paleolithic period? The conference is 
> the introductory stage of an interdisciplinary collaboration between 
> archaeologists, linguists, paleo-anthropologists, historians, geneticists on 
> the same subject. 
> 
> The received doctrine for the origin of the Celts in Western Europe was 
> centered upon the idea of an Indo-European Invasion in the Copper Age 
> (4th millennium B.C.), by horse-riding warrior pastoralists. The subsequent 
> process of Celtic language evolution would therefore have taken place in 
> the II and I millennium, that is in the Bronze and Iron Age. The evidence 
> collected by archaeology in the last thirty years overwhelmingly prove the 
> absence of any large scale invasion in Europe, and the uninterrupted 
> continuity of most Copper and Bronze Age cultures of Europe from 
> Neolithic, and of most Neolithic cultures from Mesolithic and final Paleolithic.
> Some of the participants hold for the PCP (Paleolithic Continuity Paradigm) , 
> which considers that the recent prehistory of Western Europe - from the 
> Megalithic culture through the Beaker Bell to the colonialistic La Tène - must 
> have all been Celtic. Consequently, the duration of the colonial expansion of 
> the Celts was much longer than thought, and its direction was from West to 
> East and not vice versa. Other participants will expound different 
> viewpoints.
