Las estelas del Suroeste en el valle del Guadalquivir y Sierra Morena: Distribución espacial y nuevas perspectivas de investigación

Abstract

This paper focuses on the spatial distribution of Late Bronze Age stelae in two geographical areas from Southwest of the Iberian Peninsula in order to test many of the hypotheses which have been proposed according to their possible functionality as territorial markers. An evaluation has been made according to the possible relation between the distribution of these monuments and some geographical and archaeological variables. The results obtained have been very useful to test some of the existing interpretations from a spatial approach and to evaluate the limitations of the present information and of the spatial analysis carried out.
