Corridors and Colonies: Comparing Fourth–Third Millennia BC Interactions in Southeast Anatolia and the Levant

A nuanced understanding of the Late Bronze Age transformation in the Balearic Islands, particularly during the Talayotic period, reveals two key processes: demographic growth and a slight increase in external contacts. This study shifts focus from traditional architectural and artifact analysis to metallurgical and faunal studies, offering new insights into local resource exploitation strategies and inter-regional interactions. The findings highlight both similarities and differences between Majorca and Menorca, contributing to the broader narrative of complex social organization during this period.
