This paper describes wheel‐made wares of the Late Bronze Age found in the Iberian Peninsula, including Mycenaean imports, and considers their origins and possible meaning for the introduction of the technology of wheel‐turning. Such an innovation is documented in metal vessels and in jewellery of ‘Villena‐Estremoz’ before the phase of Phoenician colonization in the eighth century BC.
