Abstract

Starting from an analysis of the trade and the chronological sequence between the Iberian Peninsula and the Cypro-Philistinian area during part of the Late Bronze Age (1150-950 BC), we can recognize, in the most peripheral territories of the Eastern Mediterranean, the presence at least of some exports of manufactured products in the form of articulated spits and knobbed fibulas of the Huelva type, and imports of bronze bowls. These artefacts appear in small hoards (Berzocana, Spain) or in tombs (Amathus, Cyprus), associated with members of the leading elites. This suggests an exchange of gifts in order to establish trade ties. We also evaluate the historic and economical aims of this trade.
