Los Millares culture
The Los Millares (Millaran) culture of southeastern Spain was a Copper Age society of fortified villages. Its type site near Almería had rings of stone walls, small outlying forts, a copper workshop and a cemetery of about 80 collective tombs.
Copper working and walled settlements suggest growing competition between communities.
