Abstract

This paper presents an approach to the study of European Iron Age ethnicity, a core topic for several decades which has begun to lose interest in the last years. A review of some of the uncertainties involved in the archaeology of ethnicity, focused on several key issues, is proposed. Moreover, some relevant topics that are usually undermined are suggested in order to address new challenges in the discipline: the introduction of political identity as a major focus of study, the reassessment of the etic perspective as an inner part of processes of collective differentiation, or the need for a holistic approach to join and combine different forms of expression. Finally, these approaches will be explored in a case study based on the northwest of the Iberian peninsula. This region has been chosen because of the feasibility of combining the results of different studies about social and political organizsation with relevant textual evidence to extract information about their ethnic dynamics.

文本、政治与身份:铁器时代种族问题的新挑战。伊比利亚西北部的一个案例
本文提出了一种研究欧洲铁器时代人种的方法,几十年来,人种一直是一个核心课题,但在过去几年中,人们开始对它失去兴趣。本文对种族考古学中的一些不确定因素进行了回顾,重点关注几个关键问题。此外,还提出了一些通常被忽视的相关主题,以应对该学科的新挑战:将政治身份作为主要研究重点,重新评估作为集体分化过程内在组成部分的民族视角,或需要一种整体方法来连接和结合不同的表达形式。最后,将在伊比利亚半岛西北部的案例研究中探讨这些方法。之所以选择该地区,是因为可以将有关社会和政治组织的不同研究成果与相关文本证据相结合,以提取有关其种族动态的信息。

期刊介绍: The Cambridge Archaeological Journal is the leading journal for cognitive and symbolic archaeology. It provides a forum for innovative, descriptive and theoretical archaeological research, paying particular attention to the role and development of human intellectual abilities and symbolic beliefs and practices. Specific topics covered in recent issues include: the use of cultural neurophenomenology for the understanding of Maya religious belief, agency and the individual, new approaches to rock art and shamanism, the significance of prehistoric monuments, ritual behaviour on Pacific Islands, and body metamorphosis in prehistoric boulder artworks. In addition to major articles and shorter notes, the Cambridge Archaeological Journal includes review features on significant recent books.
