摘要:The statues of warriors are one of the most prominent examples of the Castro culture in thenorthwest of the Iberian Peninsula. Notable in this category is a series of sculptures depicting thesame iconographic motif: standing male, looking straight ahead, carrying a shield on the front. Thispaper, which is the first part of an integral research about this sculptures, studies their distributionand location as well as the inscriptions that are carved in some of them. Our analysis shows thatthese sculptural pieces are not found everywhere but in some specific sites within the old conventusbracarensis territory. Most of those locations are associated to heterogeneous settlements, butsome others cannot be associated to inhabited areas. In this latter case, the sculptures could havebeen linked to key points in the territory (crossroads, hills, relevant piks, etc). Finally, engravedinscriptions seem concurrent with their corresponding sculptures, so this is a significant clue for thechronology of this unique statues of warriors.
