Copyright by Nadya Helena Prociuk 2016 Copyright by Nadya Helena Prociuk 2016 The Dissertation Committee for Nadya Helena Prociuk Certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Inscribing Identity: A case study of symbolic communication from the Iron Age Castro Culture of northwestern Iberia Committee: Samuel Wilson Supervisor Mariah Wade Maria Franklin Paulo Costa Pinto Inscribing Identity: A case study of symbolic communication from the Iron Age Castro Culture of northwestern Iberia by Nadya Helena Prociuk, B.A.; M.A. Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin May 2016 Dedication I would like to dedicate this work to my grandparents. Despite very little formal education they were able to provide my parents and myself with opportunities they could never have dreamed of for themselves. In particular I would like to dedicate this work to my grandfather Tymish Melnyk, who passed on to me his deep love of history and culture, and showed me that you don’t need a degree to be a true scholar. Acknowledgements I would like to gratefully acknowledge all of the help and guidance I have received during the course of this work. In particular my advisor Sam Wilson has been enormously helpful in guiding me through the often-bewildering process of completing a project of this scale with good humour and good advice. Without the generosity and support of Mariah Wade I would never have been able to even begin this work, and I am immensely grateful to her for extending the invitation to join her project. Maria Franklin and Paulo Costa-Pinto have been essential sources of inspiration and guidance, and I am very grateful to them for agreeing to serve on my committee, and for providing such helpful feedback. In addition, I could never have carried out this work without the generous support of the wonderful archaeologists and conservators at the Gabinete de Arqueologia of Vila do Conde, who have made it a pleasure to return to Portugal year after year to complete this project. Likewise I could never have completed this project without the kind permission to analyze collections at the Museu Municipal de Póvoa de Varzim, at the Museu D. Diogo de Sousa, and at the research facility of Monte Padrão. Finally thank you to my friends and family, who have kept me sane and reminded me to live life beyond grad school. Particularly my parents, who had faith in me even when I had no faith in myself, and who didn’t laugh when I told them I wanted to dig in the dirt for a living. And thanks to George, for coming into my life just when I needed him to, and for all the ways it’s been better with him in it. v Inscribing Identity: A case study of symbolic communication from the Iron Age Castro Culture of northwestern Iberia Nadya Helena Prociuk, PhD The University of Texas at Austin, 2016 Supervisor: Samuel Wilson The guiding question of my dissertation research is: how did the symbols saturating the material culture of the Castro people serve a social and political, as well as decorative, role during the Late Bronze and Iron Ages of northwestern Iberia? Throughout the material remains of the Castro Culture a suite of symbolic motifs was repeatedly inscribed. Such motifs have traditionally been seen as solely decorative, and their social function has never been explored. However the insistent appearance of particular designs on so many material mediums has led me to hypothesize that these symbols served the Castro people as non-vocal communicators of identity and belonging. In a broad sense I ask: who were the Castro people speaking to through these symbols and what were they talking about? To attempt to access these questions and better understand the role of symbolic motifs in Castro society I ask more specifically: in what contexts are these motifs found? To answer these questions this dissertation project will trace the presence of the Castro motifs across various mediums: ceramics, domestic and communal architecture, and items of personal adornment. In doing so, I will examine the context, frequency, and presence/absence of each motif and begin to build a picture of how the Castro people were employing these motifs not only as ornament but as representations of themselves and their communities. vi Table of Contents List of Tables ......................................................................................................... xi

  • Celts and the Castro Culture in the Iberian Peninsula – Issues of National Identity and Proto-Celtic Substratum
    Brathair 18 (1), 2018 ISSN 1519-9053 Celts and the Castro Culture in the Iberian Peninsula – issues of national identity and Proto-Celtic substratum Silvana Trombetta1 Laboratory of Provincial Roman Archeology (MAE/USP) [email protected] Received: 03/29/2018 Approved: 04/30/2018 Abstract : The object of this article is to discuss the presence of the Castro Culture and of Celtic people on the Iberian Peninsula. Currently there are two sides to this debate. On one hand, some consider the “Castro” people as one of the Celtic groups that inhabited this part of Europe, and see their peculiarity as a historically designed trait due to issues of national identity. On the other hand, there are archeologists who – despite not ignoring entirely the usage of the Castro culture for the affirmation of national identity during the nineteenth century (particularly in Portugal) – saw distinctive characteristics in the Northwest of Portugal and Spain which go beyond the use of the past for political reasons. We will examine these questions aiming to decide if there is a common Proto-Celtic substrate, and possible singularities in the Castro Culture. Keywords : Celts, Castro Culture, national identity, Proto-Celtic substrate http://ppg.revistas.uema.br/index.php/brathair 39 Brathair 18 (1), 2018 ISSN 1519-9053 There is marked controversy in the use of the term Celt and the matter of the presence of these people in Europe, especially in Spain. This controversy involves nationalism, debates on the possible existence of invading hordes (populations that would bring with them elements of the Urnfield, Hallstatt, and La Tène cultures), and the possible presence of a Proto-Celtic cultural substrate common to several areas of the Old Continent.

In the spirit of Aldous Huxley, who suggested that “We can only love what we know”, we would like to introduce you to Braga and to the University of Minho, in the hope that those of you who haven't been here before come to love them as much as we do. Braga was founded by a Celtic tribe known as Bracari over 2000 years ago. The Romans named it Bracara Augusta in honour of Emperor Augustus in the year 15/16 BC and made it the capital of the newly-founded province Gallaecia. After being conquered and re-conquered several times, King Afonso VI of Leon offered it to his daughter Dona Teresa (she was his favourite), who became the mother of the first King of Portugal (D.

Analysis of a Celtiberian protective paste and its possible use by Arevaci warriors Jesús Martín-Gil*, Gonzalo Palacios-Leblé, Pablo Martín Ramos and Francisco J. Martín-Gil Abstract This article presents an infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis of residue adhering to a Celtiberian pottery sherd of late Iron Age date from the Arevacian site of Cerro del Castillo, in Ayllón (Segovia, Spain). This residue may be a paste used since antiquity for protective aims. Orange-sepia in colour, made from crushed bones and glue, the paste was used by Greeks and Romans and later in the construction of the cathedrals and monasteries of Europe to confer a warm colour to the stone and to protect it against environmental deterioration.

  • 1 Settlement Patterns in Roman Galicia
    Settlement Patterns in Roman Galicia: Late Iron Age – Second Century AD Jonathan Wynne Rees Thesis submitted in requirement of fulfilments for the degree of Ph.D. in Archaeology, at the Institute of Archaeology, University College London University of London 2012 1 I, Jonathan Wynne Rees confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Abstract This thesis examines the changes which occurred in the cultural landscapes of northwest Iberia, between the end of the Iron Age and the consolidation of the region by both the native elite and imperial authorities during the early Roman empire. As a means to analyse the impact of Roman power on the native peoples of northwest Iberia five study areas in northern Portugal were chosen, which stretch from the mountainous region of Trás-os-Montes near the modern-day Spanish border, moving west to the Tâmega Valley and the Atlantic coastal area. The divergent physical environments, different social practices and political affinities which these diverse regions offer, coupled with differing levels of contact with the Roman world, form the basis for a comparative examination of the area. In seeking to analyse the transformations which took place between the Late pre-Roman Iron Age and the early Roman period historical, archaeological and anthropological approaches from within Iberian academia and beyond were analysed. From these debates, three key questions were formulated, focusing on

These names prove the presence of speakers of a Celtic language in this area, but there are also names of other origins.

    Bell Beaker resilience? The 4.2ka BP event and its implications for environments and societies in Northwest Europe Jos Kleijne, Mara Weinelt, Johannes Müller Abstract This paper deals with the Bell Beaker phenomenon in Northwest Europe, and the question of its development around 2200 BC, in relation to the well-known 4.2ka climatic event. The duration of settlement occupation and the subsistence economy are the variables used in this study to address this resilience on a regional scale. Concluding, we state that regional variability exists in the ways in which communities were impacted by the 4.2ka event. In addition to agricultural intensification, the flexibility of subsistence strategies seems to have played an important role. Keywords Resilience; Bell Beaker; Northwest Europe; Settlement; Subsistence Introduction From 2600 BC onwards, Western and Central Europe are characterised by what archaeologists have historically labelled as “the Bell Beaker phenomenon” (e.g. Vander Linden 2013). In various parts of Europe, especially the Iberian Peninsula, the end of this phenomenon is often considered to date around 2200 BC, with the rise of the El Argar civilisation in the Southeast of the Peninsula, associated with significant changes in social organisation, settlement structure and food economy (Lull et al 2015). The role of climate in the demise of the Bell Beaker phenomenon, and the resilience and vulnerability of prehistoric communities, is currently being debated (e.g. Blanco-Gonzalez et al 2018; Hinz et al in press). Specifically, an abrupt climatic event around 2200 BC, commonly known as ‘the 4.2ka event’, has a well attested influence on human society in other parts of the world.
