Puntarrón Chico, located near the town of Beniaján, Spain, has been a strategic site for centuries. The region was home to an Argaric village - a society of great archaeological importance, dating back to the 3rd and 2nd millennia BCE. Two archaeological excavations conducted at the site uncovered numerous ceramic pieces, flint knives, bone pins, bracelets, padlocks, copper and bronze spearheads, and burials in both cists and jars. The village, once prototypical and one of the most important in the Argaric zone, is thought to have extended beyond the Puntarrón Chico site. Despite suppositions, the extension of the village has not been fully documented. One of the most notable finds from the site is a very old flask, considered the oldest found in the Iberian Peninsula.
