Context (Analysis)
Said to have come from the Champagne district. They date in the transition period between Hallstatt and La Tene, circa 500 - 400 BC but are not of types that I can find record of as characteristic of this district. 1924.976 A in particular is very Pyrenean - Spanish looking - CF; Date: 4 Century BC; 3 Century BC -
