( Link: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-31747159) 

Summary:
A tomb from the 5th Century BC of Celtic prince has been unearthed on Lavau in France's Champagne region.
The national Archaelogical Research Institute said that;  "The grave contain Greek and possibly Etruscan artefacts "A team from Inrap has been excavating around the grave, and they have dated it to the end of the First Iron Age.
The burial mound,  it has 40m  across, in the center has burial chamber. The Inrap's president said:  "It is probably a local Celtic prince," Inrap said too: "it is one of the largest recorded burial chambers for this period and is "exceptional" not only because of its size but also for the quality of the material unearthed"
The 5th and 6th Century BC  in the southern France the etruscan and de Greek stay in cities like Marseille .Also, Mediterranean merchants, opened exchange with continental Celts.
Personal Opinion: 
I think that discovery is incredible because we can learn more of the culture and the Celtic thoughts or religion. We don't know enough of this awsome civilisation and that grave can show us some many things, because when they did the burials, in the coffin they put some jewellery 
 and also food.
