El poblamiento del eneolítico en Murcia: estado de la cuestión

Abstract

Se analizan los diferentes tipos de asentamiento del Eneolítico en Murcia, atendiendo a su tipología y localización concreta, a su distribución geográfica y a su cronología. Se observa una aparente distribución de yacimientos antiguos, totalmente en llano, en la mitad oriental de la Región, frente a otros situados en terrazas fluviales de cronología similar y posterior (Pleno), a veces relacionados con asentamientos en altura, fortificados, que se generalizan durante el Eneolítico Final.

Diferents type of settlements during the Eneolithic period in Murcia (the southern east Region of Spain) are analysed according to its particular location and typology, its geographical distribution and chronology. An apparently flat distribution of ancient archaeological sites, along the eastern half of this Region, as opposed to those situated in certain little flat surfaces which are defined over waterways, and formed during the same period or even later (Middle Eneolithic); occasionally those archaeological sites are connected to fortified settlements on top of hills, which became general during the Final Eneolithic.
