This chapter describes the linguistic situation in those parts of the Iberian peninsula where there are no or very few inscriptions written in the indigenous languages. Our knowledge is based on the onomastic evidence (place names, deity names, and personal names) that has come down to us, mainly through the Latin epigraphy of late republican and imperial times. The characteristics of each category of names are discussed, pointing out their potential strengths and limitations as a source for knowledge of the linguistic situation, as well as the coincidences and differences that they sometimes reflect, in order to define onomastic areas. Finally, the different linguistic regions that can be observed in the peninsula are presented by means of analysing the geographical distribution, linguistic attribution, and other characteristics of the indigenous onomastic evidence.
Bibracte, ubicado en el Mont Beuvray, a 820 m de altitud, es un oppidum que se remonta a la segunda Edad del Hierro con indicios de una ocupación prehistórica. Fue capital de los Eduos hace dos mil años. Diecinueve siglos más tarde J.-G. Bulliot y J. Déchelette hicieron de este yacimiento un lugar de referencia para el estudio de la civilización céltica prerromana. Hasta mediados de los años ochenta no se volvieron a emprender los trabajos de excavación. Desde entonces, junto a la intervención de otros centros de investigación y universidades de la Comunidad Europea, un equipo español participa cada año en el programa. Las nuevas excavaciones tienen lugar en varios sectores de la ciudad: las necrópolis al exterior de la muralla, la puerta principal de la muralla, el sector de artesanos, el centro urbano con su calle principal y fuente monumental, el área de las principales residencias patricias, y las terrazas superiores con sus edificios de culto y amplias áreas de reunión.
