The appearance of large socioreligious sanctuaries in Sardinia at the start of the Iron Age heralds a new period in the Nuragic culture of the island. Alongside the construction of densely populated “proto‐urban” villages, they mark a break with the past Bronze Age culture and signal new ways of territorial management and religious organization that originated with water and well temples. They were also fundamental for the control and distribution of metal resources by the Nuragic elites.
