		A sculpture of an androgyne god has been found in Roquepertuse in southern France, demonstrating the very moment, as the creator god separates man in male and female with a knife made of flintstone.

		There is even the possibility that the god himself was adopted in this way, explaining the limited distribution of his worship, the consistency of the way he was depicted, and the strong identification of him as having crossed legs.
		There is also the case that Entremont and Roquepertuse are examples of the Celto-Ligurian type of temple.
		Most striking of all is a large bird, most likely a goose, that sits overlooking the portico from Roquepertuse, the pillars of which contain niches for severed heads or skulls (MacCana, 1983, p.

	The Power of the Death’s Head - Printer Friendly Page - Equipment - Ghosts-UK
		The Celts often took the heads of enemies killed in battle, and kept these both as trophies and as offerings to the gods.
		The great stone shrine at Roquepertuse had skull-niches in the wall, some filled with representations of heads and others filled with actual skulls.
		Throughout the years the skull has been seen as a mascot, trophy or charm and this is represented within the screaming skulls legends that still linger on, in England today.

		This cross has often been referred to as CROIS INNEENBOY, the cross of the daughter of Baoth.
		In 1937 Dr. Adolf Mahr, then keeper of Irish Antiquities and Director of the National Museum of Ireland, put forward the theory that this double-headed cross, the two-faced termon cross of Kilnaboy, might be compared to the well-known Celtic double-heads from Roquepertuse in south-east France.
		Three years later Dr. Joseph Raftery seemed to confirm this theory when he wrote that the Tau Cross seemed to belong to the same series of La Tene sculptures mentioned by Mahr.

		Some of them, we are told, boast that they have refused its weight in gold, thereby displaying a barbarous sort of greatness; for not to sell the proofs of one's valour is a noble thing."
		These accounts accord well with the archaeological evidence, which has come to light at Entremont and Roquepertuse, two Celtic shrines in southern France.
		Careful reconstruction has shown that severed heads were ritually displayed in these environments.

		The study concentrates on the social role of warfare in this period, and considers elements such as the defended settlements on hilltops and promontories which develop around this time.
		It also examines the so called ‘hero sanctuaries’ at sites such as Entremont and Roquepertuse with their sculpted heads and displayed skulls, and attempts a re-evaluation of the so-called ‘headhunting’ practices associated with ‘Celtic’; warfare.
		The above research has been undertaken as part of the Warfare and Violence in Prehistoric Europe (WAVIPE) initiative, an international research project designed to promote greater understanding of the causes and consequences, prevalence and nature of non-state warfare in Europe.

		There may also be a relevance of the latter concept to the practices, well attested in both the archaeological record and Classical sources, relating to head-hunting.[15] Possession of a person's head may have been seen as giving a measure of control over that person's soul.
		Depositing severed heads at the sanctuary of a deity, evidence of which has been found at the sites of Roquepertuse and Entremont, may have been a way of making their owners' souls subject to that particular god in the afterlife.[16]
		Such beliefs as the above reflect a vision of the world in which the whole of physical reality has a spiritual counterpart.
