A walled township, with projecting bastions and four outlying forts, near the coast in Almeria, southeast Spain. The cemetery includes 100 megalithic bombs. The pottery, of the Millaran culture, consisted of plain ware, including troncoconic vessels and carinated forms, and also much decorated ware. Symbolism appears on the decorated ware and on other pottery, stone, and bone. Arrowheads were bifacially worked, leaf-shaped, rhomboid, and barbed-and-tanged and copper was in common use. The settlement was townlike, with rows of stone houses, alleys, and a central communal place within the walls. An artificial watercourse may have led to the settlement. There was specialization of production between households. Their culture was succeeded by that represented by Beakers.
