Researchers have figured out the economic and political borders that separated El Argar from its neighbors in La Mancha and Valencia about 4,000 years ago. Apparently, these communities had less centralized structures, but they still interacted with the Argaric culture. The study looked into pottery production to understand these dynamics better. So, yeah, it sheds light on how some of the first states formed in prehistory. Not super exciting, but it’s something. #SoutheastIberianBronzeAge #ElArgar #Archaeology #History #PotteryAnalysis
