Abstract

Recent research advances have provided new relevant data to understanding the origin and disappearance of Culture of the Motillas -or wells- of La Mancha Bronze Age. The motillas could possibly be the oldest system of underground water collection at local level set up in Europe. The implementation of this network of wells could be related to the 4.2 kiloyear BP aridification event. The motillas are tells, very similar in form to burial mounds, and are not mere wells; its symbolism is obvius. Some architectures of this Culture are oriented to stars and have associated schematic art.
