Abstract


The recent archaeological discoveries along with the radiocarbon dates from the cremation cemetery Herrería (Guadalajara, Spain) are new evidence of the arrival of Urnfield people in the eastern Meseta. Assuming that this interior area was a part of the historic Celtiberian region we think these cultural influences played an important role in the origins of the Celtiberian culture.
