Le territoire des caristes selon Ptolémée

Les Caristes ou caristios en espagnol, étaient une tribu pré-romaine, dans la Communauté autonome basque actuelle, au nord de la péninsule Ibérienne de l'Espagne.

Ils ne sont ni mentionnés par Strabon, ni par Pomponius Mela, mais bien par Pline l'Ancien, qui les situait dans l'intérieur, dans la zone sud du Pays basque. Ptolémée les situait entre la rivière Deba, dans la province du Guipuzcoa et de ce qu'est actuellement Bilbao.

Son territoire était limité avec celui des Vardules et celui des Autrigons. Leur apparentement aux Cantabres, aux Celtes ou aux Vascons n'est pas fermement établi.

Mais les découvertes effectuées au printemps de de 2006 dans l'oppidum romain d'Iruña-Veleia (Alava) ont montré des inscriptions thématiques religieuses en basque correspondant au IIIe à au VIe siécle, renforçant l'hypothèse que les Caristes parlaient basque.

Dans le Haut Moyen Âge, ils ont été déplacés ou ont été absorbés par les vascons, tribu forte et organisée selon les Romains.
