Abstract


The «romboid-plate and recesses» bronze belts are a type of numerous and characteristic objects on Iberian Iron Age archaeology. These objects have been considered by the Spanish traditional research as the results of cultural influences from Central Europe, and they have so called Celtics belts. In this paper a series of new archaeological evidences are presented. They seem demonstrate that those iberian bronze-belts don't have a Celtic but a Greek origin, as other scholars have already proposed. From these new data, is proposed a different pattern of chronological, ' commercial and craftsmanship organisation for those productions concerning the Greek Colonisation of the «Far West».
