The Archaeology of the Iberians

by Arturo Ruiz, Manuel Molinos, Mary Turton

Overview

The Iberians inhabited southern and eastern Spain between the Greek and Phoenician colonization beginning in the eight century BC and the Roman conquest. This was a period of urban growth, and the adoption of ideological symbols and technological innovations from the colonists created an important and unique Iron Age culture. The Archaeology of the Iberians is an up-to-date, theoretically informed synthesis of what is now known about the world of the Iberians and a fascinating case study of change within a specific complex society.
