El
Argar, one of the politically and economically most developed societies
in Bronze Age Europe, collapses around 1550 B. C. E. All the
settlements are abandoned or restructured according to new architectural
principles at this time. Moreover, the strict observance of intramural
burial rites, which serve to signify the position of the members of the
Argaric society according to sex, age and class, disappear completely.
Pottery and other aspects of material culture change in their form and
structure as subsistence strategies suddenly become more diversified.
Interdisciplinary research carried out during the last decades allows us
to make a clearer account of the social as well as environmental causes
of these changes. A key question which needs to be addressed is the
chronology of the different economic, social and environmental
transformations. Where all aspects of the social structure shifting
simultaneously or is it possible to observe
a chain of events? In this sense, the internal changes occurring during
the final moments of El Argar need to be analysed in detail.
