Trip around Menorca

Today instead of excavating we took a trip around the island and looked at some other archaeological sites.  All of them were Talaiotic.  The Talaiotic people lived on the island from the second millennium BC until the Romans took over in 123 BC.  They were rather primitive and lived in caves for a long period of time.  Eventually they formed villages, but were less advanced than the Punics, Iberians, Greeks, and Romans with whom the interacted.  Here are a few pictures from our excursion.

We have a two day break and then will be back to excavating on Thursday.  Tomorrow we plan on going to Mahon (the capital of Menorca).

Best,
