 e-Keltoi: Volume 6, The Celts in Iberia: An Overview, by Lorrio and Ruiz Zapatero
Therefore, the Celtiberians could have been Iberians who settled in the land of the Celts, which would directly contradict the traditional theories suggesting that the Celtiberian people developed as the result of a Celtic invasion of the land of the Iberians.
This thesis was defended by Bosch Gimpera (1932), who postulated the existence of various invasions in an attempt to combine the historical and linguistic sources with the archaeological evidence.
The Celtiberians could be considered an ethnic group insofar as they included subordinate ethnic units, just as the Gauls or the Iberians did, but on a smaller scale, without evidence for centralized power or even a political hierarchy (Burillo 1993: 226).

After some pre-colonial contacts during the Late Bronze Age, Phoenicians, Greeks and Carthaginians settled and influenced the indigenous world in various ways.
