TOCleft Origin Unreferenced section date March 2011 Whether they were Celts or pre Celtic Iberians has not been established. A third possibility is that they represented a pre Celtic population who had adopted many elements of Celtic culture namely from the Celtici of Alentejo , with normal expectations of some intermarriage, and cultural influences from powerful Tartessos to the east of them, in the region that Romans would call Hispania Baetica . Inscriptions Inscriptions in the Tartessian language have been found in the area, in a variety often referred to as Southwest Paleohispanic script . The name Conii , found in Strabo , seems to have been identical with the Cynesii , who were mentioned by Herodotus as the westernmost dwellers of Europe and distinguished by him from the Celts ref Herodotus writes now the Celtae dwell beyond the pillars of Hercules , being neighbours of the Cynesii, who are the westernmost of all nations inhabiting Europe Herodotus, II, 33 .

Conistorgis is imprecisely located north of Ossonoba today s Faro, Portugal . Conistorgis was the main city of the Cynetes Conii or Cynetes . It was located somewhere in the interior of the Algarve , in southernmost Portugal , although the exact location is unknown. In the Conii language it probably meant city of the Conii . The Celtici seem to have been present there. The Conii had made an alliance with the Romans during the conquest of the Iberian Peninsula . This led to the city s destruction by the indigenous Iberian confederation, led by the Lusitanian s, during the Lusitanian War against Rome .

Southwest inscriptions have been found mainly in the southwestern quadrant of the Iberian Peninsula , in the south of Portugal Algarve and southern Alentejo , but also in Spain , in southern Extremadura and western Andalucia . Name of the script The name of this script is very controversial. The more neutral name is southwestern, because it refers only to the geographical location where the inscriptions had been found, but it needs some additional precision in a general context. Some researchers name this script Tartessian considering this script the script of Tartessos . Others prefer to name this script as South Lusitanian, because almost all the southwestern inscriptions have been found in the south of Portugal an area included in the Roman province of Lusitania , where the Ancient Greece Greek and Ancient Rome Roman sources locate the Pre Roman peoples of the Iberian Peninsula Pre Roman Cynetes Conii or Cynetes people, instead in the zone generally considered Tartessian between Huelva and the Guadalquivir valley . But on the other hand, the name South Lusitanian is inconvenient, as it may wrongly suggest a relation with the Lusitanian language .
