| We found that the big problem here is that all of the really good or detailed books are in Spanish! The best we found by far was "History of the Balearic Islands" (title translated). it comes in two volumes Vol 1. "The prehistoric settlement of the Balearic Islands. From the origins to the Bronze Age" Authors Victor M. Guerrero Ayuso, Manuel Calvo Trias and Simon Gornés Hachero. Vol 2. Mallorca and Menorca in the Iron Age The Talayotic settlements and Postalayótica. Authors Victor M. Guerrero Ayuso, Manuel Calvo Trias and Simon Gornés Hachero. Both published in 2006 by El Mundo-el Dia de Beleares The full content of both volumes was available ( in Spanish )on the web as PDFs for free. We converted the PDFs to html and then read them using Google translate. Unfortunately we cannot find the bookmark for the webpages, but a little googling should find them if they're still around. The last few decades have seen big changes in the understanding of how the talayotic culture displaced the earlier ways of life, these volumes were the only ones we found that included these new findings. We visited just about all of the major Menorcan sites and they are tremendous, there is no health and safety nonsense there, you are free to explore as you wish. At Torre d'en Galmes there is an entire talayotic city to explore! Reply | with quote | Posted by Megalithics 12th January 2013ce 20:37 In reply to: Menorca...what books? (Sanctuary) |
