After giving it a thought, the Celts and notably the Gauls were quite an inventive bunch, and had perhaps one of the most advanced proto-urban societies at their time.

Apart from mining and metallurgy, where they excelled anyway, they have been credited with the invention of:

- the freely pivoting axle
- the chain-mail
- the soap (an early kind of)
- the barrel

What more?
