Re: [tied] Lusitanians

Thanks, that was helpful. Regarding the Lusitanians, it is possible then that they were Indo-Europeans, not speaking an Iberian dialect? Are Indo-European as well as native non-Indo-European (Iberian or Tartessian?) elements attested among the Lusitanians? Besides this, are any possible non-Celtic Indo-European elements seen any where else in the Iberian Peninsula besides among the Lusitanians?

I know that there's the name of Arganthonios, the king of Tartessos, but that's usually seen as being Celtic, containing the root word for silver, but could it have been a non-Celtic Indo-European name as well? (Lusitanian?)
