The Culture of the Millares
(2500-1800 to d. C.)
In the Barranquete is the more important necrópolis of
the region with eleven interments in Tholos excavated, dated in
year 2330 B.C.
It was a megalitic town able fundamentally to develop complex
customs based on the industrialist of sílex and the agricultural
economy, introducing the important newness of the extraction and
manipulation of copper, becoming culture bridge towards the age
of metals.

As a characteristic
of these first settlers, is the use of the overlaping stones in
walls, bunkers and interments, the ceramics decorated with solar
reasons, the objects of Eastern influence found in the tombs and
the operation of the mining resources,
In Níjar we were with necrópolis of the Barranquete,
with the birth of the Tarajal river and the one of Amarguilla (hill
of the Doves) to the East of the quarter. Also we found vestiges
in the Escullos and near Genoveses and, already in Alhamilla Mountain
range, the enclosure of Inox, the Cerricos, to the Southeastern
of Villa and in Tejar (the Tejera) between the villa of Níjar
and the Granatilla.
