how old is the El Argar sword?
this must be one of the oldest
under tumuli? how that if the cist where placed under the floor of their homes?BTW the elite burials in El Argar were in cists under tumuli -
El Argar survived till 1400. The sword was made with copper, it is in the file of the museum where it's exhibited.
if it is just copper, not bronze, it is useless in battle, it is just for parade
Sorry Berun I made a medley, maybe, by too much shorting; here under translation of Jacques BRIARD in my bad english:under tumuli? how that if the cist where placed under the floor of their homes?

surely it is a bad interpretation by the author, it's not logic to make a tumulus in your floor.
The tradition of jar burials was in use in Anatolia, surely by people with CHG admixture. So Argar burials could be a casual convergence or a fashion that spread with cists and after some centuries it was majoritary.
