Amongst other things, it was possible to account for widespread bronze production, usually domestic, involving modest means of production and aimed at local and regional consumption. Some Mediterranean elements also occur within the same contexts, showing new shapes, functions, styles, materials, technologies, ritual practices, but Mediterranean metals play a minor role. Hybridization as cultural phenomenon is also possible. Some items of Mediterranean fi liation are also represented on Warrior Stelae, expressing the role played locally by the «outside» in the reinforcement of social inequalities. All these evidences seem to have been residual, circumscribed to the circle of the elites. So these elements neither expressed pro-Mediterranean acculturation, nor created a profound effect on the lives of the communities. KEY-WORDS: LATE BRONZE AGE; IBERIAN PENINSULA; MEDITERRANEAN; BRONZE; HYBRIDS; INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES Geo-Strategic and cultural placement During the transition from the 2 to the 1 millennium BC (XII-IX cent. cal. BC), the Western End of the Iberian Peninsula experienced a profound transformation marked by heterogeneous regional realities. In this dynamic, several communities played with different strategies, as a consequence of the specifi c cultural heritages shaping them —in fact the area studied does not show homogeneity during the Middle and Late Bronze Age. This resulted from contacts and stimuli assimilated (or rejected) from various sources, or even, and fundamentally, from choices, wishes, practices and actions underlying the materialities we fi nd; in conjunction with the materialities that we can only deduce, intuit, or guess. One of these actions was the handling of metal (here considered in its broadest sense as having an inclusive dimension with social meaning): procurement, production, consumption, circulation and accumulation. Therefore, this starting point values the indigenous contexts where we have found metal, alongside other exogenous factors which show interaction towards «others», independently of their causes and guidance.
