Majaladares (Spain)

A Bronze Age Village of Farmers, Hunters and Herders.

One fourth of the Late Copper and Bronze Age settlement of Majaladares was excavated in 1990-1994 and 1999. The aim was to reconsider the model of intensification in Bronze Age economy. In doing so 8 phases (Neolithic - Copper Age: timber houses, 2300-2100 - hiatus - EBA: timber hall, hoard, 2100-1900 - hiatus - LBA: timber houses, 1400-1200 - long hiatus - Visigoths, 5th century) were detected. The Analysis of animal bones showed that the inhabitants were specialised hunters and horse breeders, but from 1750 onwards an intensification of grain production occurred. 209 Seiten mit 126 Abb. und 17 Tab., Großformat, gebunden (Internationale Archäologie; Band 107/Verlag Marie Leidorf 2007)
