Hiérarchisation et métallurgie : statues armées dans la Péninsule Ibérique

A narrow relation has been hold between the beginnings of the metallurgy and social hierarchical structuring, in the sense of breaking with previous social organizations, has been discussed in this paper from the data obtained by the anthropomorphous drawings. From the ancient megaliths, the human figures were described with instruments that provide power and individuality. This fact, joined to the evidence of grave goods with prestige elements, propose the beginning of the hierarchy in the own social evolution of the production society, constituting the megalithic culture and his drawings the trustworthy expression of this hypothesis.
