Abstract

The start and end of the Bronze Age in the Iberian Peninsula were marked by two historical events, neither of which greatly affected the communities in the area. This article takes a look at the various societies located in the peninsula, as well as the three main periods that comprise the Bronze Age. It first studies the Early Bronze Age, which started with the crisis of the Copper Age societies of the Bell Beaker tradition. The most popular archaeological group of this period was El Argar. The article then discusses the Late and Final Bronze Ages, which were characterised by a decrease in stable settlements and more connected peninsula communities. The end of the Final Bronze Age marked the start of Phoenician colonial activity in the western Mediterranean.
