Changed "Etruscan" to Celtic. The Etruscans did get around Italy, south to Campagna, north to the Po Valley perhaps. Etruscan pottery ahs been found in S. France, but this is probably evidence of trade. The heads are in aa purely Celtic style, the Celts were who lived in the area in pre-Roman times, and these very heads form a material part of a discussion on the so-called "veneration of the human head" in ancient Celtic religion. Trying to find out about Etruscan connections with Aix, I found a seminary web page that refers to an Etruscan history that seems to be lacking, save for an important conference on Etruscan potter held there in 1975.

Yes that was an error. I think Celto-Ligurian is the correct word. I also wikilinked to the article on Entremont (oppidum). Although the pre-Roman collection in the Musée Granet is in limbo (as Aix decides whether it can finance a new archaeological museum), I vaguely remember there being Etruscan artifacts in the collection. These particular heads at Entremont are pictured and described on pages 110-111 of "The European Iron Age" by John Collis. Here is what he writes:
So "severed heads" is the correct term to use and the Celto-Ligurian tribe were the "Salvii". Mathsci ( talk) 08:32, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
Works for me, although one could have a lengthy discussion about the legitimacy of the term "Celto-Ligurian," since it is difficult to pin the ancient Ligurians down linguistically or via material culture, although the Romans lumped a lot of people into the "ligurian" category. Not unlike the map I show my students that has everything northeast of Italy labeled "Illyrian Tribes" until you arrive in a region with traditional Greek settlements. 68.110.200.73 ( talk) 21:32, 21 April 2013 (UTC)Lucretius6
