By the middle of the Early Bronze Age, burial customs seem to have changed considerably and there is a move towards rock-cut chamber tombs which were located outside of settlements.

A particularly contentious subject is the appropriateness of using terms such as ‘colony’ and ‘colonisation’. In the English language the term ‘colony’, derived from the Latin noun colonia, was originally used to denote an overseas settlement that had been founded on the directive of a state or empire and so remained subject to its rule. However, the term has become historically associated with European expansions into overseas territories during the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries CE (e.g. the British colonisation of Africa and India during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries) and so has acquired imperial connotations.

During the eighth century, Phoenician settlements were also founded on both the Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts of southern Spain, on the island of Ibiza and at a number of sites on the western coast of Portugal.
