Talk:Prehistoric Spain

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Some questions

The Iberians arrived in Spain sometime in the third millennium B.C. Source? AFAIK there is only one moment when the diffuse conglomerate called Iberians could have been formed: in the Neolithic migration (and hybridation with locals). That was in the 5th milennium. In any case, we can't fully talk of Iberians with precision before they developed written language (in the 1st mielnnium BCE).

The Celts of Europe entered Spain through two separate migrations in the ninth and seventh centuries B.C.. That's plain wrong. Celts entered c. 1300 BCE with the Urnfields migration. They remained connected to continental Europe till c.600 BCE when the NE seems to have been re-Iberized. C. 700 they migrated westwards into the plateau and the Atlantic coasts.

If I get no replies and I have some time, I'll make a whole review of the article some time in the future. --Sugaar 08:37, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
