Archaeologies of Colonialism
This book presents a theoretically informed, up-to-date study of interactions between indigenous peoples of Mediterranean France and Etruscan, Greek, and Roman colonists during the first millennium BC. Analyzing archaeological data and ancient texts, Michael Dietler explores these colonial encounters over six centuries, focusing on material culture, urban landscapes, economic practices, and forms of violence. He shows how selective consumption linked native societies and colonists and created transformative relationships for each. Archaeologies of Colonialism also examines the role these ancient encounters played in the formation of modern European identity, colonial ideology, and practices, enumerating the problems for archaeologists attempting to re-examine these past societies.

Veteres incolae manentes en la transformación urbana del nordeste de la Hispania Citerior (ss. II-I a.C.). La población indígena de las ciudades romanas de Ilerda, Iesso y Aeso
Este trabajo estudia la transformación urbana que distintas comunidades del nordeste de la Hispania Citerior experimentaron entre finales del s. II a.C. y principios del s. I a.C. A partir de los casos de Ilerda, Iesso y Aeso, se presta particular atención a la combinación de su morfología urbana romano-itálica con un contingente poblacional que prueba ser eminentemente indígena. Esta circunstancia se pone en relación con la promoción de la Galia Cisalpina en el año 89 a.C. mediante el expediente colonial latino de carácter municipalizante, un modelo en el que su contingente colonial estaba conformado principalmente por los antiguos habitantes de las comunidades promocionadas. Finalmente, se valora si la transformación urbana de estas comunidades hispanas pudo ir acompañada de una promoción jurídica mediante el expediente colonial latino, reproduciendo algunas de las características constitucionales atestiguadas en la promoción de la Cisalpina.

Les Phocéens, Marseille et la Gaule (viie-iiie s. av. J.-C.)
Last of the expeditions of the Greek archaic colonization, the Phocean colonization in the western Mediterranean assumes a particular dimension owing to a real convergence between the strength of the metropolis’ maritime activity, the context of Mediterranean exchanges between prexis and emporia and the opening out of new fields of exploration in the outermost West. In pursuance of that settlement in Gaul towards 600 B.C., Marseilles experiences a period of exploitation of the potentialities (vi - v c. B.C.), along the Gallic coasts towards Spain (Tartessos and the silver mines of the Sierra Nevada) with the foundations of Emporion and Mainakê and inland, towards the Celtic principalities of the North-East, then as chief interlocutor in southern Gaul. With the foundation of a series of settlements between Iberia and Liguria, in the likeness of the contemporaneous coloniae maritimae civium romanorum, the Hellenistic era is marked by the assertion of the city over its territory in the face of the native populations and, at sea, by the side of Rome opposite the Carthaginians. For all their length of time, it is not always easy to measure the impact of the cultural relationships in the creation of spaces and identities in southern Gaul.

The Changing Face of Cisalpine Identity
Roman involvement in Italy north of the Apennines followed an unusual trajectory. Because its inhabitants were considered Celtic, and the region itself was remote, it was originally named part of Gaul, although as a matter of geography it was understood by some, at least, to form part of the Italian peninsula. Natural, political, and cultural geography diverged. Three centuries of Roman conquest, demographic engineering, and material change are described. The result was a change in Roman percipience and attitude, such that the political boundary of Italy was extended north and Cisalpine Gaul and its environs were officially classified as four regions of Augustan Italy.
