Evidence of Iberian Bronze Age ‘Boquique’ Pottery in the Balearic Islands
This paper deals with the recent discovery of Iberian ‘Boquique’ Bronze Age pottery on the Balearic Island of Mallorca. It marks the ‘maritime’ spread of this distinctive pottery into a geographic area not previously recorded. It should therefore be of particular interest to mainland investigators and others concerned with its geographical distribution as well as those dealing with long‐distance trade and possible kinship links during the period.…
A New Megalithic Dolmen from the Balearic Island of Mallorca
This paper examines and discusses a ‘dolmenic‘ structure recently discovered on the Spanish Balearic Island of Mallorca. This form of megalithic tomb architecture is the least studied of the many different types of local prehistoric monuments. Only seven dolmens are known in the Balearics (Mallorca and Menorca) and the Pityoussa Group (Ibiza and Formenterra) and only two of these have radiocarbon dating, circa 1750 cal BC to 1550 cal BC. The new …
The definition and duration of the Beaker Culture in the Spanish Balearic Islands
This paper presents 45 radiocarbon dates demonstrating International Bell Beaker cultural contact and interaction with the Island of Mallorca, c. 2500 cal BC to 1300 cal BC. The radiocarbon documentation is accompanied by supporting artefactual and architectural evidence that demonstrates long‐range seaborne exchange and a high degree of social complexity outside the Iberian Peninsula. The evidence has been collected over a thirty‐four year perio…
The 14 C Chronology of the Son Mas Sanctuary Site (Valldemosa, Mallorca, Spain)
With >40 14 C dates, mainly on bones and charcoal, the site at Son Mas is the only megalithic sanctuary on the Balearic Islands that has been dated by 14 C in detail. Although soil erosion made stratigraphy difficult and the monument was cleaned out regularly during its long use, the results demonstrate that the site was occupied from the Pretalayotic (Chalcolithic) until the Roman period. The aim of this study was not only to date the constructi…
Radiocarbon dating and talayots
Like the Sardinian nuraghi, which they closely resemble, the stone-built towers on the Balearic Islands known as talayots have been the subject of considerable research in recent years. The present paper analyses a series of radiocarbon dates from the Son Ferrandell Oleza settlement and discusses the implications for Balearic prehistory
A Beaker workshop area in the rock shelter of Son Matge, Mallorca
The results of recent investigations in the Balearic Islands offer a great deal of new artefact and chronological information concerning the islands’ early settlement and the external cultural and trade influences that affected them, along with the development of the indigenous technological, economical, social and religious activities during prehistoric times. The current article presents some of the new information emerging from a Beaker worksh…
