Summary: This volume concludes various scientific studies and the results of various research projects that are currently being developed in the fertile Menorcan archaeological terrain. The coordinators of the work, Fernando Prados (University of Alicante), Helena Jiménez (CNRS – University of Toulouse) and José J. Martínez (University of Murcia) are part of the MODULAR project, which has as its main object of study the Phoenician-Punic world from its architectural manifestations. MODULAR pays special attention to the connection between the Phoenician-Punic world and local cultures, evaluating the resulting hybridization and miscegenation processes. Among the study and analysis laboratories, Menorca stands out, especially in its post-talayotic phase. The aforementioned project is part of a priority line of research that is developed by the Institute of Archeology of the University of Alicante and has the support of the Consell Insular de Menorca, within its aid program for carrying out archaeological interventions, the City Council of Ciutadella, the SHA Martí i Bella and Camping Cap Blanch, from various collaborative figures ranging from logistical support to patronage.
