A.  a time period between prehistory and written history

Explanation:

The term protohistory ("first history") refers to a phase not very well defined that would be between the end of prehistory and the beginning of ancient history. Its temporal limits are somewhat diffuse and are often found several interpretations:

According to the classic, protohistory would study those human groups of which we have written news thanks to contemporary indirect sources: of the Iberians or La Tène, for example, we were told by the Greek and Roman writers. This definition limits protohistory to the Second Iron Age. For the French school, the European protohistoric societies would be those that developed at the same time as those that already used the writing in the Middle East. This would be a recent prehistory that would range from the Chalcolithic to the Iron Age. Finally, according to a more modern and broad interpretation, I would study those societies that were in the transition to written culture and, in turn, in the process of state formation. In Europe, likewise, it would refer to the Age of Metals, but for the rest of the world it would have more extensive connotations.

Within this period in Europe, numerous semi-centralized political entities were developed, coinciding with the beginning of writing and metallurgy. These societies initially produced brief epigraphic documents and, subsequently, extensive chronicles, considering themselves from that point that they entered ancient history.
