The Iberians in the Valencian Country. Iron Age societies and landscapes on the central Mediterranean area

This study analyses the organisation of the landscapes and socioeconomic and political structures of the Iberian period in the Valencian Country during the first millennium BCE. Using spatial analysis, it offers an interpretation of the historical dynamics and the evolution of Iberian societies within the urbanisation process of the western Mediterranean. Despite clear evidence of social differentiation, it proposes a general model of the sociopolitical organisation of groups, with both strong social stratification and corporate behaviours.
