abstract = {This paper examines how monuments with ‘local’ idiosyncrasies are key in processes of
place-making and how, through persistence, such places can engage in supra-local and
even ‘global’ dynamics. Departing from a detailed revision of its context, materiality, and
iconography, we show how a remarkable Iberian ‘warrior stela’ brings together the geostrategic
potential of a unique site, located literally between the Mediterranean and the
Atlantic worlds, the century-long dialogue between shared and local identities and the
power of connectivity of inexorable global processes. Previous approaches to Iberian
late prehistoric stelae have had problems in developing bottom-up, theoretically
informed and empirically-sound approaches to their simultaneously local and supralocal
character. The remarkable site of Almargen provides the opportunity to explore
this issue. Located in Lands of Antequera (Malaga), a region with a strong tradition of
landscape-making through monuments going back to the Late Neolithic, the Almargen
‘warrior stela’ serves us to explore the notion of ‘glocalisation’, which embodies
persistent local engagements with material culture, sites and landscapes on the one
hand, and their connections with wider regional and even ‘global’ worlds on the other.},
