Review:

"Iberia was one of the major regions of the Iron Age Mediterranean, but it remains poorly known among English-language archaeologists, historians, and classicists. This book, providing superb case studies of everything from the literary sources to the botanical remains, will be required reading for many years to come."

--Ian Morris, Stanford University

"The diversity of authors in this collection is noteworthy, and the archaeological and historical data they present are rich and highly useful. This book will be a widely consulted benchmark in the study of early Iberian colonialism, and will stimulate focused, interactive debates over the topic for years to come."--Susan E. Alcock, Brown University
