The Cerro de los Infantes settlement was particularly significant in the south-east of the Iberian Peninsula, in the Granada province. Associated with the Tartessian culture, the main external influence, this settlement controlled the passage from the Genil River valley to the north. Later, at the end of the 8th century BC, the indigenous inhabitants of Cerro de los Infantes adopted the innovations introduced by Phoenician colonisation, including the potter's wheel and high-temperature firing kilns. Furthermore, Phoenician influence led to a change in housing models, with oval or rectangular huts being replaced by more complex square-shaped constructions.
