The talaiots, or talayots, are Bronze Age megaliths on the islands of Menorca and Majorca forming part of the Talaiotic Culture or Talaiotic Period. They date back to the late second millennium and early first millennium BC. There are at least 274 of them, in, near, or related to Talaiotic settlements and Talaiotic navetes. While some certainly had a defensive purpose, the use of others is not clearly understood. Some believe them to have served the purpose of lookout or signalling towers, as on Menorca, where they form a network. These monuments pre-date the taulas, which are usually found nearby. Talayots on Menorca were much less prone to weathering as were the ones found on Majorca. Despite this, very few grave goods have been found in Menorcan talayots, leading historians to believe that the island had a poorer economy than its larger neighbor.Similar, but not necessarily related, are the nuraghes of Sardinia, the torri of Corsica, and the sesi of Pantelleria. Talaiotic sites include: Capocorb Vell, 12 km south of Llucmajor, Majorca: five talaiots and ancient village Ses Païsses, near Artà, Majorca Son Olesa dolmen, Majorca, discovered in 1999 Bocchoris, Majorca Settlement at S'illot, Majorca Talatí de Dalt, Menorca Trebalúger, Menorca Trepucó, Menorca Torre d'en Galmés, Menorca
