This chapter examines Welsh societies in the first millennium BC, covering the topics of social attachment, increasing returns, upward social mobility, social differentiation, and the evolution of hierarchy. As these changes took place in what was most likely a Celtic linguistic environment, and were affected by and in turn affected the linguistic evolution of the Celtic languages, they can justly be called Celtic social evolutionary processes, and the societies they affected were Celtic societies. While these Celtic societies were neither unchanging nor uniform, they were nonetheless structurally similar, and it is the specific co-evolution of societies and the terminology to describe them that ultimately made the medieval Welsh what they were: characteristically and identifiably Welsh.
