Abstract

Although the studies on material typologies and various partial aspects related to war during the protohistory of the Iberian peninsula have provided interesting data and analysis on how to conceive the practice of organized violence, whether due economic and ideological reasons, and especially to the exercise of power, the construction of the meta-narrative on the significance and characteristics of the war is far from finished. We would say that there are still many outstanding issues. In this text we reflect on the need to increase the work in the theoretical fields of Archeology of conflict and the Archeology of violence to build a pluridisciplinary approach to the characteristics, causes and consequences of war during the protohistory, putting the sociological analysis of war to determine that it constitutes an essential part of the ideology and social cohesion rules of the Iberian and Celtiberian communities. Only from the assumption that war is part of the culture, will be able to define the organizational characteristics about its practice and development that we claim.
