Western Iberia 3000 years ago at a crossing of scales. Itineraries of things and people

Abstract

By focusing on the Bronze Age and, particularly, on its final stage, the author makes a journey through the research carried on in Portugal in the last 140 years. Having the thread of time as a guiding ballast, but not limited by its linearity, the traveled itinerary stops in some aspects selected by various criteria, which are commented on or discussed. It is not a synthesis about the knowledge of that period, but a text that summons data through its biographies and plural mobility, aiming at understanding and the way it was built.
