“…A conventional interpretation of this event, derived from Plutarch ( Lives VIII), posited that the Roman general had created this city as a token of gratitude to his Vascon allies. However, historians have recently challenged this long-accepted narrative due to its dubious supporting evidence and the discovery of military camps and artifacts that point toward confrontations in the region (Pina 2011: 143; Martínez et al 2019: 268–9). Whatever the truth behind the story, though, the connection between Pompey-Pompaelo-Vascones was one that endured (Wulff 2009: 38).…”

This article undertakes an examination of the origins and evolution of a discourse of alterity against the Vascones –the alleged forefathers of the Basques – and other Western Pyrenean peoples from Antiquity to the Middle Ages. The methodology employed involves the study of literary references made to these peoples, which are then compared to recent scholarly and archeological evidence. Through this analysis, it becomes possible to evaluate the accuracy of these mentions and interpret them within their specific historical context. The results of this research indicate that mentions of the Vascones during this timeframe were mainly polemic in nature and lacked substantial grounding in empirical reality. Instead, it seems that the underlying objective of these narratives of alterity was twofold: to enhance the social and political standing of their authors and to support their claims to political control over the Western Pyrenees. The abandonment of these interpretative repertoires during the tenth century, coinciding with the emergence of the kingdom of Pamplona and the county-duchy of Wasconia, further emphasizes the connection between the display of these tropes and imbalances in political power between the region and its neighbors. The conclusions of this article directly challenge the underpinnings of discourses that depict the ancient Vascones as entirely alien to the political and religious paradigms derived from the Roman and Christian traditions. In so doing, it thus confront narratives about these “ancient Basques” that are prevalent in contemporary Basque cultural production.

Como en sucesivas campañas, en verano de 2022 un equipo de la Sociedad de Ciencias Aranzadi ha llevado a cabo una serie de trabajos arqueológicos en el poblado de la Edad del Hierro del yacimiento de Irulegi, en el municipio de Laquidaín (Valle de Aranguren). Se ha continuado una excavación en área abierta, siguiendo áreas en las que se intervino el año pasado, gracias a las cuales se ha comenzado a conocer esta fase del yacimiento de la prehistoria reciente.

This study examines the evolution of ethnic symbol consumption in the Basque Country following the end of ETA's violent activities in 2011. It delves into the shifting political and cultural context of the Basque provinces during this period, underscoring the impact that terrorism and its cessation have had on creating distinct patterns of cultural consumption. The focus then turns towards the case of the ‘Hand of Irulegi’, an Iron Age relic discovered in 2022 that allegedly contains the oldest inscription in an ancestor of Euskera—the Basque language. The paper argues that the rapid adoption of the Hand of Irulegi by Basque society as an ethnic symbol is directly related to transformations in the conception of Basque identity in the aftermath of ETA's dissolution. These transformations include, mainly, the intentional forgetting of recent historical events by a large segment of Basque citizens and the emergence of Euskera as the main fulcrum of contemporary Basque cultural identity. The Hand, due to its chronological remoteness and its exclusive association with the Basque language, seems to be custom‐made to serve as a symbol for this new type of identification.
