Funerary practices and social development beyond the territory of El Argar

Funerary practices and social development beyond the territory of El Argar

From the seminal studies of the nineteenth century, the analysis of the dissymmetries in the funerary record of the Bronze Age societies of the Iberian Peninsula has been a key piece in the study of existing differences both between them and inside of each one. By far, Argaric society is the one that currently offers a greater quantity and quality of archaeological information, obtained after many decades of intense research. However, the advances made in recent years in the study of funeral practices in the territories surrounding the Argaric space allow us to reevaluate, in the light of new data, the social transformations produced within the archaeological groups contemporary to the Argar, and propose new hypotheses, or modify those already proposed, about the historical processes in which they took place.
