Rare Iron Shackles Reveal Celtic Slave Trade Hub in Ancient Gaul
Archaeologists in France have uncovered five rare iron shackles at a 2,300-year-old Celtic site in Allonnes, indicating the presence of slavery in the Late Iron Age. These shackles, including wrist and ankle restraints, suggest the settlement was a hub for slave trading and was associated with hierarchical social structures. The site also revealed metal tools, religious offerings, and coins, providing new insights into Celtic society and the lives of enslaved individuals, especially women and children, within the context of pre-Roman Gaul.

Iron Shackles Unearthed at Allonnes
According to an INRAP announcement, five pairs of extremely rare iron shackles have been uncovered at a 2,300-year-old Celtic site in Allonnes, France. The shackles were discovered in 2019 during excavations that began in December 2018 ahead of a housing development.
The finds include a double-wrist restraint, an ankle restraint, and three additional metal restraint portions. The wrist restraint’s small 6 cm diameter suggests it may have been used on a woman or child. The ankle restraint weighed over 1 kg (2.2 lbs), revealing the heavy physical burden imposed on enslaved people.
