Iberians
The Iberians ((ラテン語:Hibērī), from (ギリシア語:Ιβηρία)) were a set of peoples that Greek and Roman sources (among others, Hecataeus of Miletus, Avienus, Herodotus and Strabo) identified with that name in the eastern and southern coasts of the Iberian peninsula, at least from the 6th century BC. The Roman sources also use the term ''Hispani'' to refer to the Iberians.
The term ''Iberian'', as used by the ancient authors, had two distinct meanings. One, more general, referred to all the populations of the Iberian peninsula without regard to ethnic differences (Pre-Indo-European, Celts and non-Celtic Indo-Europeans, such as the Lusitanians). The other, more restricted ethnic sense, refers to the people living in the eastern and southern coasts of the Iberian peninsula, which by the 6th century BC had absorbed cultural influences from the Phoenicians and the Greeks.〔An English-language survey is Richard J. Harrison, ''Spain at the Dawn of History: Iberians, Phoenicians and Greeks'' (Thames & Hudson), 1988.〕 This non-Indo-European cultural group spoke the Iberian language from the 7th to the 1st century BC.
Other related peoples often termed Iberian are the Turdetani, who were descendants of the Bronze age Tartessos culture, the Vascones and the Indo-European Lusitanians. The rest of the peninsula was inhabited by Celts or Celtiberians groups.
== Origins ==
Iberian origins are not clear. However, it is suggested that they arrived in Spain in the Neolithic period, with their arrival being dated from as early as the fifth millennium BC to the third millennium BC. Most scholars adhering to this theory believe from archaeological, anthropological and genetic evidence that the Iberians came from a region farther east in the Mediterranean. Others have suggested that they may have originated in North Africa. The Iberians would have settled along the eastern coast of Spain.〔(Iberians – Encyclopedia.com )〕〔(Spain: Historical Setting – Library of Congress Country Study – Iberia )〕
