As already noted, the passage of the end bronze to iron age in the region of Murcia is lacking in studies, despite deposits such as El Castellar (Librilla) or wheel Cabezo (sewer). The reason is that in the time in which the iron metallurgy acquired some importance on the Levantine coast landed merchants Phoenician and later Greek.
