Archaeological research into political relations and idealogy among prehistoric societies has often been seen as unreliable or intrisically speculative. Without denying the difficulties of this task, great advances can nevertheless be made when societies produced specialized artefacts in orderto enhance social communication starting from historical materialism, the goal of this article is to show how minorcan communities from the late second millenium BC constructed social differences in the context of a changing non-classist society. The research is based upon a unique set of wooden carvings recently found inside the Mussol Cave (Minorca, Balearic Islands, Spain). The analysis begins with a careful description of these objects and the place where they were used, before categorizing tham as a form of specialized 'communicative artefacts'. As such, they played a crucial role in the context of practices aimed at enabling certain people to acquire a new social condition.
