Abstract
El Argar culture has been depicted traditionally as a series of highly hierarchical geo-political systems that were mainly interested in the internal control and organisation of their territory. This article reinterprets new archaeological evidence to suggest an alternative vision of Argaric societies that emphasises interconnectivity between a mosaic of differing regions and a more fluid socio-political organisation. Network approaches emerge as a useful theoretical and methodological referent to make sense of the complexity of the archaeological data and help to place El Argar within the typical Mediterranean themes of connectivity, volatility and fragmentation that so well suit the study of the landscapes of southeastern Iberia.
