Resum

This study offers an alternative explanation, in terms of core/periphery relationships, by means of a petrologic, morphometric, spatial and contextual analysis of the silicified oolitic limestone blades found in archaeological sites dated back to the third millennium ANE in southern Iberia. This suggests the existence of a supra-regional circulation of highly standardized, finished products, which spread over a distance of more than 500 km, and an area of over 222.000 km2 . In this sense, the blades have become the first archaeological indicator of the paths, types and contents of the relationships developed within and around the inter-settlement hierarchical framework of the Guadalquivir Valley from 3000 to 2500 BC, accounting for the emergence and collapse of a political system.
