Abstract


This paper shows the first results of a research project that aims to analyse the spatial relationship betwen the natural resources and the settlements in the Upper Guadiana River (South Meseta, Spain). The data obtained will be used to understand the productive system of the communities which lived in this territory during the Copper and Bronze Ages. In particular the settlement pattern during the Bronze Age is analysed in the Nature Reserve of Lagunas de Ruidera. This shows a territorial hierarchical structure and allows us to understand the emergence of social complexity within this territory.
