Desentrañando el pasado: la intrigante historia del cráneo con clavos de hierro de un antiguo guerrero

El cráneo de un hombre de entre 40 y 50 años, atravesado oblicuamente por un clavo de hierro que se utilizaba para sujetar la cabeza y fijarla a una pared u otra estructura. Este ritual era una práctica relativamente común entre los pueblos galos del Mediterráneo y las tribus íberas de la zona norte de lo que hoy es Cataluña.

Después del combate, cortaban las cabezas de sus enemigos vencidos y las llevaban de regreso a sus casas, donde exhibían las calaveras junto con sus armas en las fachadas, porches o patios como trofeos de guerra.

Estamos en el poblado íbero de Ullastret, situado en la comarca del Baix Empordà en Cataluña, hogar del mayor asentamiento íbero de Cataluña que data aproximadamente del 550 a.C.

Aquí, en la Edad del Hierro, las cabezas de los enemigos derrotados se preparaban y exhibían públicamente junto con las armas confiscadas.

Esta costumbre ritual reafirmaba los poderes de los líderes. Era común en las culturas celtas que los trofeos de cabeza se colgaran de los lomos de los caballos o se exhibieran frente a las casas de los guerreros victoriosos.

Los habitantes de Ullastret eran los Indiketes, un antiguo pueblo íbero que hablaba la lengua ibérica.
