It is generally agreed that during the 3rd millennium BC (Chalcolithic) and the 2nd millennium BC (Bronze Age) complex transformations of the social dynamics within the diverse communities inhabiting the different regions of Europe occurred. This book intends to revisit such consensus by highlighting how researchers explain these transformations and differences. The volume assembles some of the contributions presented at the seminar ‘In between the 3rd and 2nd millennium BC – Which kind of turn?’ held at the University of Coimbra (Portugal) in November 2018. The meeting aimed to examine different points of view on the topic, asking what archaeological evidence could be analysed to discuss the turning process. During the seminar, talks were presented about different geographical units in Western Europe. Most focussed on the Portuguese territory, however, as our original goal was not to present a synthesis on this region, we also invited researchers working in the UK, Spain and France (Lopes and Gomes 2018). In doing this, we were aiming to expand our view of the Portuguese territory, widen our insights into the turn between the Chalcolithic and the Bronze Age, and to contribute to a better understanding of our possibilities of investigating the development of European Late Prehistoric cultural diversity by positioning it within a broader geographical scale. This also allowed the addition of diverse perspectives in questioning the subject and brought together colleagues working within different institutional contexts and inspired by disparate conceptual backgrounds.It was decided, for the purposes of this volume, mainly to concentrate on the Iberian Peninsula. By limiting our focus to this region, we felt we could thoroughly examine the differing approaches and interpretations of the turn between the Chalcolithic and Bronze Age. Although this chapter, and the others in this volume base their discussions around the Iberian Peninsula, we decided we had to include McFadyen’s provocative paper on Cambridgeshire. Her analysis of the singularity of the ‘Must Farm’ landscape raises important questions about the limitations of archaeological narratives based on linear perspectives and periodisation. These questions, and those raised by the other papers presented at the seminar, form the basis of this introductory chapter.
