Description

BOOK DESCRIPTION
Analysis of Bell Beaker Culture of the Balearic Islands, based on years of excavations on various sites. Apart from detailed analysis of artefacts and sites discovered, this study points to the strong evidence of growth of the population, through architectural, artefact and other data, social complexity and economic growth through the exploitation of natural resources. All these aspects have been well defined by radio carbon analyses.
