Celtic Iron Age, Stone statues, Warrior figures, Ritual destruction (‘killing’)Abstract
A short survey of a number of incomplete stone statues, several with warlike attributes and dating between the sixth and second centuries BC, forms the basis of a speculative identification of their representing local heroes. The intentional destruction of the statues, in part or whole, is related to the well-known Iron Age custom of ‘killing’ of swords and other weapons.
