During the Final Bronze Age the Nuragic civilization underwent fast social transformations: nuraghes were no longer built, and many were no longer used or became temples.<ref name="Paolo Melis (2003)"/> Giant graves were no longer constructed, although many of them would be reused during the subsequent centuries. The same phenomenon occurs for sacred wells and other cultic places; some were abandoned, while others remained in use up to the Iron Age. There are no hints of invasions, wars among Nuragic communities, or destructive fires. Therefore, these important changes are attributed to internal factors, in turn determining a gradual cultural change, and social and territorial reorganization within the Nuragic society.<ref name="Marco Rendeli (2011)"/><ref name="Fulvia Lo Schiavo, Campus, Leonelli (2010)"/>
Another relevant element was the trans-marine navigation journeys that Nuragics made toward several locations in the [[Mediterranean]]. Their presence is attested at [[Gadir]], [[Huelva]], [[Camas, Seville|Camas]] ( [[El Carambolo treasure|El Carambolo]]), [[Balearic Islands]], [[Etruria]], [[Lipari Islands]], [[Agrigento]] (Cannatello), [[Crete]], and el [[Ahwat]].<ref name="Vincenzo Santoni (2010)"/><ref name="Judy Siegel-Itzkovich (2010

These attestations – pertaining to the time period between late Bronze Age and throughout Iron Age – are constantly increasing in number, due to new findings and studies in progress of Nuragic pottery, formerly classified as generic barbarian ware and, as such, preserved in repositories of museums without being further analysed.<ref name="Piero Bartoloni (2009)"/>
