“An advance on the basic design was the plowshare, a replaceable horizontal cutting surface mounted on the tip of the moldboard. Introduced by the Celts in Britain around 4000 B.C.E. (without the replaceable feature),” must be a misprint. There were no identifiable Celts as long ago as 4000 B.C.E. Could the writer have meant 400 B.C.E.? 400 C.E.??

Thank you for noticing that typo. It has been corrected to read 400 B.C.E. Your help in making New World Encyclopedia a valuable resource is greatly appreciated.
