Nekropolen des 3. Jahrtausends v. Chr. im Zentrum der Iberischen Halbinsel

Abstract

The emergence of funerary finds on the inside of Iberian Peninsula in the last years, shows a new scene to add up to the information the Higuera’s Valley site has provided. This is the first necropolis of artificial caves that has been systematically excavated in the South Plateau. We compared three of the notorious and highly topical aspects over the necropolis: the existence of organized cemeteries, the architectural/structural variety of the graves and the importance of absolute chronology as element to refute a record, nowadays classified into useless inflexible divisions. Furthermore, funerary record of the third Millennium B.C. shows interesting prospects to value the demography of his communities in the future.
