Social inequality, fortified settlements and enclosures in the Southern Iberian Chalcolithic (3rd Millennium BC). An open discussion Márquez-Romero, José Enrique Jiménez-Jáimez, Víctor José Kunst, Michael Steiniger, Daniel Restos arqueológicos prehistóricos Edad del cobre Amongst many Mediterranean archaeologists the idea that the Iberian Peninsula, and especially its southernmost regions, witnessed the rise and development of some of the earliest complex communities in Western European Late Prehistory has become a commonplace. In particular, the Iberian Chalcolithic is predominantly considered a paradigm of early social inequality, a starting point for the emergence of state societies and the decline of kinship as the basis for most human social relationships. This perception is grounded on the scientific results of several research projects undertaken in the last three decades of the 20th century. 2025-06-13T09:40:18Z 2025-06-13T09:40:18Z 2025-06-13T09:40:18Z 2021 book part Márquez-Romero, J.
