Los Celtas Y El País Vasco
P. BOSCH GIMPERA Si hay hoy un punto firme en la etnología peninsular parece ser el carácter no ibérico ni céltico de los grupos vascos, ‘así como su origen en los pueblos de la cultura pirenaica del eneolítico. Sobre ello hemos tratado en otras ocasiones y no es preciso repetir lo dicho entonces. Recientemente se han publicado un trabajo del Sr. Sánchez Albornoz: Divisiones tribales y administrativas del solar del reino de Asturias en la época romana (Madrid 1929) y otro nuestro: Etno- logía de la península ibérica (Barcelona 1932), en los cuales se ofre- cen nuevos puntos de vista interesantes para el problema de la etno- logía vasca y para su historia primitiva. El Sr. Sánchez Albornoz obtiene una delimitación muy precisa y exacta en la mayor parte de sus puntos de las tribus del N. de España, incluyendo en ellas a los pueblos vascos. En nuestro libro, tratando más ampliamente los problemas que habíamos venido estudiando en diferentes estu- dios anteriores creemos poder rectificar algunos detalles de la deli- mitación del Sr. Sánchez Albornoz y sobre todo llegar a conclu- siones de interés acerca de los movimientos célticos en España que pueden cambiar la manera de verlos en relación con el país vasco. Por ello conviene, resumiendo lo dicho en nuestra obra acerca de la delimitación de las tribus vascas, tratar más ampliamente del problema de los celtas en relación con ellas. El territorio de los pueblos vascos Los vascones ocupan aproximadamente el territorio de la actual Navarra, salen al mar por el extremo oriental de Guipúzcoa y son vecinos, por su parte SE. -

Princeton/Stanford Working Papers in Classics
Princeton/Stanford Working Papers in Classics The eighth-century revolution Version 1.0 December 2005 Ian Morris Stanford University Abstract: Through most of the 20th century classicists saw the 8th century BC as a period of major changes, which they characterized as “revolutionary,” but in the 1990s critics proposed more gradualist interpretations. In this paper I argue that while 30 years of fieldwork and new analyses inevitably require us to modify the framework established by Snodgrass in the 1970s (a profound social and economic depression in the Aegean c. 1100-800 BC; major population growth in the 8th century; social and cultural transformations that established the parameters of classical society), it nevertheless remains the most convincing interpretation of the evidence, and that the idea of an 8th-century revolution remains useful © Ian Morris. [email protected] 1 THE EIGHTH-CENTURY REVOLUTION Ian Morris Introduction In the eighth century BC the communities of central Aegean Greece (see figure 1) and their colonies overseas laid the foundations of the economic, social, and cultural framework that constrained and enabled Greek achievements for the next five hundred years. Rapid population growth promoted warfare, trade, and political centralization all around the Mediterranean. In most regions, the outcome was a concentration of power in the hands of kings, but Aegean Greeks created a new form of identity, the equal male citizen, living freely within a small polis. This vision of the good society was intensely contested throughout the late eighth century, but by the end of the archaic period it had defeated all rival models in the central Aegean, and was spreading through other Greek communities. -

Connected Histories: the Dynamics of Bronze Age Interaction and Trade 1500–1100 BC
Proceedings of the Prehistoric Society 81, 2015, pp. 361–392 © The Prehistoric Society doi:10.1017/ppr.2015.17 Connected Histories: the Dynamics of Bronze Age Interaction and Trade 1500–1100 BC By KRISTIAN KRISTIANSEN1 and PAULINA SUCHOWSKA-DUCKE2 The Bronze Age was the first epoch in which societies became irreversibly linked in their co-dependence on ores and metallurgical skills that were unevenly distributed in geographical space. Access to these critical resources was secured not only via long-distance physical trade routes, making use of landscape features such as river networks, as well as built roads, but also by creating immaterial social networks, consisting of interpersonal relations and diplomatic alliances, established and maintained through the exchange of extraordinary objects (gifts). In this article, we reason about Bronze Age communication networks and apply the results of use-wear analysis to create robust indicators of the rise and fall of political and commercial networks. In conclusion, we discuss some of the historical forces behind the phenomena and processes observable in the archaeological record of the Bronze Age in Europe and beyond.

It is transmitted primarily in Greek (Gallo-Greek) and Latin (Gallo-Latin) script, with a small number of Gaulish texts also attested in the Etruscan alphabet in Italy (Gallo-Etruscan) and with Gaulish names found in Iberian script. In this article we detail current knowledge of the linguistic content, context and classification of Gaulish, and consider the epigraphic corpus, naming practices, writing systems and the cultural interactions that shape this material. Finally, we discuss the future challenges for the study of Gaulish and some of the work that is underway which will drive our research in the 21st century. Keywords: Continental Celtic. Cultural contacts. Epigraphy. Gaul. Gaulish. Gallo-Greek. Gallo-Latin. Onomastics. Writing systems. Resumen: El galo es una lengua perteneciente a la familia celta, que está documentada en la Galia (Francia y los territorios adyacentes) desde aproximadamente el siglo II a. C. y a lo largo del período romano. Esta lengua se escribió principalmente en alfabeto griego (galo-griego) y latino (galo-latín), aunque también se cuenta con un pequeño número de textos en alfabeto etrusco en Italia (galo-etrusco) y de nombres galos en escritura ibérica. -
Introduction Roger D
Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-56256-0 — The Cambridge Encyclopedia of the World's Ancient Languages Edited by Roger D. Woodard Excerpt More Information chapter 1 Introduction roger d. woodard 1.1 Preliminary remarks What makes a language ancient? The term conjures up images, often romantic, of archeol- ogists feverishly copying hieroglyphs by torchlight in a freshly discovered burial chamber; of philologists dangling over a precipice in some remote corner of the earth, taking impres- sions of an inscription carved in a cliff-face; of a solitary scholar working far into the night, puzzling out some ancient secret, long forgotten by humankind, from a brittle-leafed manuscript or patina-encrusted tablet. The allure is undeniable, and the literary and film worlds have made full use of it. An ancient language is indeed a thing of wonder – but so is every other language, all remarkable systems of conveying thoughts and ideas across time and space. And ancient languages, as far back as the very earliest attested, operate just like those to which the linguist has more immediate access, all with the same familiar elements – phonological, morphological, syntactic – and no perceptible vestiges of Neanderthal oddities. If there was a time when human language was characterized by features and strategies fundamentally unlike those we presently know, it was a time prior to the development of any attested or reconstructed language of antiquity. Perhaps, then, what makes an ancient language different is our awareness that it has outlived those for whom it was an intimate element of the psyche, not so unlike those rays of light now reaching our eyes that were emitted by their long-extinguished source when dinosaurs still roamed across the earth (or earlier) – both phantasms of energy flying to our senses from distant sources, long gone out. -

(December 2003) Kristin Romey, A.B., Vassar College Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Shelley Wachsmann The Sea Peoples are generally assumed to be a loose confederation of clans that first appeared in the historical record in the 14th century B.C.E. Over a century of scholarship has puzzled over whether they were responsible for the collapse of several Late Bronze Age civilizations or simply one of several catalysts that put that collapse in motion. Many attempts have also been made to determine the origins of the various groups of Sea Peoples using textual and iconographic evidence, as well as the material culture of the Sea Peoples identified in Cyprus and the Levant. This material culture is characterized foremost by locally made Mycenaean-style pottery; as such, a considerable Aegean or Mycenaean presence has been argued in the multi-ethnic Sea Peoples coalition. The most important visual record that survives of the Sea People documents a land and sea battle against the forces of Ramesses III in the early 12th century B.C.E. -

A Near EasTern EThnic ElemenT Among The ETruscan EliTe? by Jodi Magness INTRODUCTION:THEPROBLEMOFETRUSCANORIGINS 1 “Virtually all archaeologists now agree that the evidence is overwhelmingly in favour of the “indigenous” theory of Etruscan origins: the development of Etruscan culture has to be understood within an evolutionary sequence of social elaboration in Etruria.” 2 “The archaeological evidence now available shows no sign of any invasion, migra- Tion, or colonisaTion in The eighTh cenTury... The formaTion of ETruscan civilisaTion occurred in ITaly by a gradual process, The final sTages of which can be documenTed in The archaeo- logical record from The ninTh To The sevenTh cenTuries BC... For This reason The problem of ETruscan origins is nowadays (righTly) relegaTed To a fooTnoTe in scholarly accounTs.” 3 he origins of the Etruscans have been the subject of debate since classical antiqui- Tty. There have traditionally been three schools of thought (or “models” or “the- ories”) regarding Etruscan origins, based on a combination of textual, archaeo- logical, and linguistic evidence.4 According to the first school of thought, the Etruscans (or Tyrrhenians = Tyrsenoi, Tyrrhenoi) originated in the eastern Mediterranean. -
Las Eretas Site Is in Fact a Series of Superimposed Villages, That Is, Built on the Ruins of Previous Ones
1 5 URBAN DEVELOPMENT PHASE 1 Las Eretas site is in fact a series of superimposed villages, that is, built on the ruins of previous ones. The houses of the first settlement were erected after the stone rampart and the cobbled street (Phase 1, 7th century BC). They had a rectangular floor plan and a hearth in the centre. The frame of the houses was very fragile and made of small ash posts alig- ned and anchored in the ground, and a framework of sticks covered in mud. It is believed that they had pitched roofs because there was a space between 2 the houses, which would provide access to the ram- PHASE 2 part. We know that this original settlement was bur- nt down, but whether it was intentionally or not re- mains unknown. The original peasants built a second village (Phase 2) on the ashes of the former. The design of the hou- ses was more compact and sturdy. They shared a di- viding load bearing wall with a stone base. They had 6 adobe or rammed earth walls. The roof was made of wood, straw and soil; it was single pitched and sloped from the rampart towards the street. It was divided into three sections by two sleepers that res- ted on the load bearing walls and a couple of central PHASE 3 posts. These posts have left distinctive marks on the floor. Life in this second settlement remained unal- tered throughout the 6th and 7th centuries BC. The western sector of the village was redesigned (Phase 3 7 3), possibly as a result of a partial fire. -
