Celtiberians: Problems and Debates

The Celtiberians are undoubtedly the people from ancient Hispania that have attracted the highest level of interest among scholars within the different disciplines (e.g. archaeologists, linguists, and historians). This critical review of the post-1998 literature on the Celtiberians has been divided into nine sections: the meaning of the word Celtiberians , the Celtiberian language, the formation of the Celtiberian culture, population, Celtiberian migrations, economy, the study of rituals through an examination of ceramics, mortuary rituals, and Celto-mania and the Celtiberians

La vid y el vino en el valle medio del Ebro durante la etapa prerromana

Wine imports reach the mouth of the Ebro River (as far into the interior as the Matarraña basin) during the 7th c. BCE, transported in Phoenician amphorae. In the 5th c. BCE, wine production spreads to the Huerva River (present-day Saragossa). Wine cellars dating to the 3rd c. BCE have been found in San Antonio de Calaceite and Los Castellares de Herrera de los Navarros. These structures were built on mud brick benches attached to a wall. Wine was fermented in them and then stored in large pots. This wine making technique, known as the ‘plaster basin’ system, was used in several Iberian settlements. A good example of this can be found in Cabezo de Alcalá de Azaila, in a section of the city known as ‘the wine cellars’. A wine press has been found in the Celtiberian city of Segeda. This structure has been used as a model for an experimental archaeology project. A reproduction wine cellar and wine press have been built next to the site, in an area known as Segeda Nova. These structures are currently being used to produce wine. The aim of the project is to create a visitor centre for Segeda, which will contribute to the social and economic development of the rural environment in which the site is located

The swastika as representation of the Sun of Helios and Mithras

At the 20th International Conference of the European Society for Astronomy in Cul- ture, held in Slovenia in 2012, Reza Assasi (2013) presented the paper ‘Swastika: The For- gotten Constellation Representing the Chariot of Mithras’, in which he identified Mithras and his quadriga with the constellation Draco, centre of the zodiac in the map of the stars. Thus he proposed a new interpretation that contradicted that accepted by researchers of the Mithraic religion who associate Mithras with the sun. This article aims to show that, contrary to this new interpretation, Mithras should still be identified with the solar deity. Mithraic iconography and liturgy is analysed in the present work, paying special attention to the relationship between the two solar deities Helios and Mithras. The context in which the swastika is depicted is analysed, demon- strating that it never represented a constellation but instead represented the sun. We fol- low the theory of David Ulansey (1994), which asserts that Mithras should be identified with the “hypercosmic sun”, the sphere of fire which Greek philosophers located beyond the starry heavens

La prospección bibliográfica I: Una moneda de arekorata procedente de Torrellas en la obra de Lastanosa

La prospección bibliográfica consiste en localizar datos inéditos o erróneamente identificados en libros. Francisco Jiménez de Urrea señala en la obra de Lastanosa Museo de las Medallas Desconocidas Españolas la aparición en Torrellas (Zaragoza) de una moneda con un gallo y un delfín, que hasta el presente no ha sido identificada. Estos motivos sólo pueden corresponder a un divisor de la ceca de arekorata, actualmente identificada con la localidad de Muro (Soria), cercana al lugar del hallazgo.------- Bibliographic prospection entails localizing inedited data or erroneous identifications in publications. Francisco Jiménez de Urrea notices in Lastanosa’s Museo de las Medallas Desconocidas Españolas the finding in Torrellas (Saragossa, Spain) of a coin with a cock and a dolphin, which has not been yet identified. This iconography can only belong to any divisor of arekorata mint, nowadays associated with the town of Muro (Soria, Spain), which is located near the finding place

Los trabajos de etnología-antropología en la revista Kalathos del Seminario de Arqueología y Etnología Turolense

The Journal Kalathos appeared in 1981. It is published annually by the Seminario de Arqueología y Etnología Turolense (SAET), an institute of Teruel College, today called School of Arts and Social Sciences, in Teruel. The journal contains two sections, Archaeology and Ethnology or Anthropology. Since 1981, this second section has been smaller than the first and been targeted, almost exclusively, at the province of Teruel.La revista Kalathos surgió en 1981. Es el órgano del Seminario de Arqueología y Etnología Turolense (SAET), vinculado al Colegio Universitario de Teruel, hoy Facultad de Humanidades y Ciencias Sociales en la ciudad. La revista tiene una edición anual y aparece dividida en dos secciones, Arqueología y Etnología o Antropología. Desde 1981, esta segunda sección ha tenido menor peso editorial que la primera y su ámbito de estudio ha sido casi exclusivamente la provincia de Teruel

Estrategias frente a la despoblación de la Serranía Celtibérica en el marco de la política de cohesión europea 2021–2027

[EN] The European Union considers sparsely populated regions those with a density equal to or less than 8 inhabitants/km2. This is the case of the Serranía Celtibérica, with 7.09 inhabitants/km2. This circumstance, together with its status as a remote rural and mountain region, makes it possible to identify it as a disadvantaged area. In this paper, the referential legislative framework is discussed so that the cohesion policy of the period 2021-2027 can be applied to the Serranía Celtibérica. Likewise, it reflects on the possible strategies to reverse its demographic deterioration.[ES] La Unión Europea considera regiones escasamente pobladas a aquellas que tienen una densidad igual o inferior a 8 habitantes/km2. Es el caso de la Serranía Celtibérica con 7,20 habitantes/km2. Esa circunstancia, unida a su condición de región rural remota y de montaña, permite identificarla como área desfavorecida. En este trabajo se analiza el marco legislativo referencial para que en la Serranía Celtibérica pueda aplicarse la política de cohesión del periodo 2021-2027. Asimismo, se reflexiona sobre las posibles estrategias para revertir su deterioro demográfico.Burillo Cuadrado, MP.; Rubio Terrado, P.; Burillo Mozota, F. (2019).
