The Bronze Age in Mediterranean Iberia
Book information
Description
In book: Iberia. Protohistory of the Far West of Europe: From Neolithic to Roman conquest. — Universidad de Burgos, 2014. — pp. 127-146.In general terms, the beginning of the Bronze Age in the Iberian Peninsula was marked around 2200 by the material culture that appeared after the Chalcolithic societies crisis, and came to an end with the rise of Phoenician colonial activity in the western Mediterranean, around 900. Scholars have attached particular importance to these two points in time, but this does not mean that a single social process linked the two. In fact, the term “Bronze Age” covers such disparate cultures that it has no precise sociological meaning. It is not even accurate as a reference to technology, since bronze was not used until well into the second millennium, and the first Phoenician outposts did not result in its substitution by iron. In practice, “Bronze Age” is little more than a convention with a chronological meaning.
