Abstract:
|
This paper will analyse the relationships between the two societies located on either side of the Argaric and the Valencian Bronze Age border. Relationships were developed between these communities and the natural environment they used and transformed, and through their immediate intra-social and inter-social spaces.
The analysis of archaeological evidence shows that the economies of both these societies were based on the principles of peasant rationality. However, through the analysis of the degree of population nuclearisation, organisation and distribution, as well as cultural materiality and differential access to certain resources and products, signifi cant differences can be observed. This enables us to infer that there were not only fundamental differences in the degree of social development between the Argaric and the Valencian Bronze Age societies, but that there were also economic dependencies between both social spaces. |
