By T W Rolleston Earliest References In the chronicles of the classical nations for about five hundred years previous to the Christian era there are frequent references to a people associated with these nations, sometimes in peace, sometimes in war, and evidently occupying a position of great strength and influence in the Terra Incognita of Mid-Europe.
This people is called by the Greeks the Hyperboreans or Celts, the latter term being first found in the geographer Hecataeus, about 500 BC {He speaks of "Nyrax, a Celtic city", and "Massalia [Marseilles], a city of Liguria in the land of the Celts" (Fragmenta Hist. Graec.) — TWR}. Herodotus, about half a century later, speaks of the Celts as dwelling "beyond the pillars of Hercules" — i.e. in Spain — and also of the Danube rising in their country. Aristotle knew that they dwelt "beyond Spain", that they had captured Rome, and that they set great store by warlike power. Death in Ancient Britain - History of Death on History. William Buckley and the Red Lady In 1822, Reverend William Buckley, Oxford’s first professor of Geology made rather an interesting discovery.
Excavating the deeper recesses of a cave in South Wales, Buckley came across a massive mammoth skull and digging further unearthed a skeleton, dyed red with ochre, draped with seashell necklaces and surrounded by grave goods believed to have been of ritual significance: bone, antler, and ivory rods. At the time Buckley believed that no skeleton could be found that was older than the Great Flood recorded in the Bible, and that it was the body of a woman, (he postulated a Roman prostitute or witch) which he named the ‘Red Lady of Paviland.’ Since then it has been discovered that the ‘Red Lady’ was in fact a man and studies have shown that he may have lived 26,000 years ago.

The Historical Association - Articles - Making History. Founded in 1906 the Historical Association (HA) has been a broad-based organisation combining teachers of history, from primary level to university, and a large body of those with a general interest in the subject.
It was formed to be complementary to the Royal Historical Society (RHS). Initially (1906–14) the HA enjoyed accommodation provided by that Society and, indeed, the RHS's secretary, Miss M. B. Curran, was part-time secretary of the HA, 1906–21. The impulses for its formation were varied. Local history societies: Local History Online.
