La singularidad cultural del área pirenaico-occidental: dinámicas y persistencias entre la Edad del Hierro y la Época romana

Laburpena

It is not an easy task to study the «Basque-Aquitanian» area during the Antiquity. Fortunately, Joaquín Gorrochategui's research opened up a few new research routes to improve our knowledge of this area. From an archaeological point of view, both sides of the western Pyrenees have their own cultural specificity, which differs from their Gaulish, Iberian and Celtiberian neighbours. This paper focuses on two archaeological materials, ceramic and coinage, to better understand the cultural dynamics, the ethnic complexity and the evolution of the local populations, in between the Iron Age and the Roman period.
