Between the Bronze Age and the Roman arrival western Iberia was divided among many peoples: the Conii and the south-western script culture of the Algarve and Lower Alentejo, the Celtici, the Lusitanians of the centre, and the Gallaeci of the hill-fort (castro) culture in the north. Phoenician and later Carthaginian traders founded coastal trading posts.
