The author examines the evidence for socio-economic organisation in Celtic Europe during the Iron Age that would have enabled the completion of monumental building projects as well as the maintenance of an ordinary subsistence economy, looking in particular at different possible social groupings such as slaves, servants or serfs, tenants, clients and ambassadors or officers. Linguistic, documentary and archaeological sources are considered, and a case study from southern Germany is presented.
