Abstract
The aim of the Prague AFEAF Conference was to propose a new state of research on our approaches to the different archaeological cultures of the Iron Age in Central and Western Europe, in an area that is sometimes described as 'Celtic'. From the (micro-)regional to the European scale, it was necessary to examine the degree of relevance of the cultural groups that are now recognized or perceived, but also, more widely, to raise the question of the interpretation of these archaeological entities.
