PALEOAMBIENTE Y SOCIEDAD EN LA EDAD DEL BRONCE DE LA MANCHA: LA MOTILLA DEL AZUER

摘要: A paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatic  reconstruction  of the Motilla del Azuer’s (Daimiel, Ciudad Real) area during Bronze Age is proposed from a paleo-palynological study. Throughout site sequence, which ranges between 2200 1350 cal BC it divided into four main phases,  4.2 ka cal  BP event  recorded.  Several  climatic  oscillations  in an exceptionally arid period (phase II between  2000  1800 BC) are documented  in. New arguments  presented to show importance climate special hydrological features La Mancha  as factors that partially  explain  construction  “motillas”,  i.e. settlements structured around wells exploiting water table whose circular fortifications exercised clear control on subsistence production management Mancha territory.
