The Hidden Power of La Almoloya in Bronze Age Spain

La Almoloya, an archaeological site in Murcia, Spain, is a key study point for the Bronze Age Argaric culture that thrived from about 2200 BC to 1500 BC, controlling territory in Iberia equivalent to modern Belgium. This site has been revealed to have one of the earliest Bronze Age palaces identified in Western Europe, according to Lull et al. This potential palace, located over grave 38, has been described as a large hall with benches, a podium, and seating for 50 people. The grave contains the skeletal remains of a woman and a man with grave goods, including a silver diadem associated with the woman.
