Theory that \'Celts\' are a myth

[caiusbeerquitius]

What general label would be acceptable to those opposed to the label "Celt"? And is this proposed label documented in any way in the ancient record? If not, why should it be accepted instead of the label that is supported by the ancient recorders?

The terms we use influence our thoughts and our perception. I think the general critique is to use a label at all instead of using the tribal names we know, resp.: we should specify clearer what we are talking about. I like the terminology of LaTene culture, Jastorf culture etc. when I need to talk about groups of tribes. It is less(!) ideological.
