“…147–183). Such clean‐ups have also been detected at sites in Iberia, such as the dolmen of Cubillejo de Lara (Tejedor Rodríguez, 2015, p. 495) and Txabola de La Hechicera (Fernández‐Crespo, 2015). In reality, the practice of vindage seems to have been intrinsic to funerary practices associated with dolmens across Europe.…”

“…Research in France has reiterated the traditional interpretation of these sites as primary deposits constantly transformed by the repeated "vindage" or emptying of the mortuary space (Chambon, 2003, p. 147;Tejedor, 2015). This has been documented at numerous megalithic tombs in France, such as Mailleton, La Chaussée-Tirancourt, or Mound B at Bougon (Chambon, 2003, pp.…”

Several recent studies have demonstrated the complexity of funerary practices in megalithic burials. Mortuary taphonomy has proposed models to explain these practices, in which different actions, such as the generation of primary and secondary deposits, the selection and manipulation of bone remains, the extraction of materials from the grave, and so forth, can be identified. However, in the northern sub‐plateau of the Iberian Peninsula, the interpretation of funerary gestures related to megalithic tombs has not been systematically studied from the perspective of taphonomy. In this paper, we study two sites, Los Zumacales and La Lora, dated to the fourth millennium B.C. The analysis considers all the burial practices linked with megalithic tombs, with a focus on the social and natural processes involved in the formation of these complex mortuary deposits. In both examples, direct evidence of perimortem manipulation of human remains is documented by the presence of fresh fractures and cut marks in different long bones. As suggested in the discussion, this evidence may be related to secondary reduction practices following the initial deposition of the bodies.

“…Pasando a la interpretación de conjunto, debe decirse que un simple vistazo a la tabla de fechas (Tabla I) pudiera sugerir, como se ha hecho (Tejedor, 2015), la existencia de dos episodios en la sepultura: uno, constituido por la datación de carbón (fecha nº 1) y las tres más viejas de hueso (fechas 2 a 4), debido a su cercanía en años BP y al solapamiento de sus intervalos; y otro formado por todas las demás (fechas 5 a 13).…”

Este trabajo tiene por objeto el análisis de la trayectoria cronológica de la tumba de La Velilla (Osorno, Palencia), a partir de una serie de dataciones radiocarbónicas, principalmente obtenidas sobre restos humanos, que han sido sometidas a tratamiento estadístico bayesiano. A través del análisis de la cronología y del ritual funerario se intenta discernir sobre los posibles “ciclos de uso” que se sucedieron a lo largo de la vida del sepulcro megalítico y especular con la idea de que la Velilla puede ser considerada como un ejemplo de uso sucesivo de un espacio funerario a lo largo del tiempo, en el que además se percibe un deseo de continuidad en el ritual durante toda su trayectoria.

“…The dating of such events is a clear testimony that, after years of abandonment or closure, these tombs would again be used for funerary purposes, a point that seems to have been especially notable from the Late Chalcolithic. This is shown by the many tombs throughout the Iberian Peninsula in general and particularly in the northeast and southwest of the Iberian Plateau (Delibes de Castro and Santonja 1987;Benet et al 1997;Garrido-Pena 2000;Delibes de Castro 2004;Álvarez-Vidaurre 2006;Tejedor-Rodríguez 2015;Santa Cruz del Barrio et al 2020a).…”

“…The only cases known are those in which materials associated with this period have been found. For example, in the Arroyal I dolmen, a level complete with bones and typically pre-Bell Beaker ceramics was located(Carmona Ballestero et al 2014;Tejedor-Rodríguez 2014).…”

Chronological Study of Collective Burials in the Northern Iberian Plateau: Analysis of Radiocarbon Dates on Human Bones From the Megalithic Complex of La Lora (Burgos, Spain)

This paper offers a temporal analysis of the megalithic group of La Lora in the context of northern Iberian Plateau megalithism. For this purpose, 67 accelerator mass spectrometry radiocarbon (AMS 14C) dates were obtained on human bone from the minimum number of individuals recovered from nine tombs. This is the first systematic dating project carried out in this dolmen group and has enabled the chronology of the main funerary series to be updated. The results reveal that the actual funerary use dates mainly to the 4th millennium BC, although, as deduced from the archaeological material, some tombs were reused in later periods. Additionally, the significant architectural polymorphism of the group, consisting mainly of simple dolmens and large corridor tombs, suggested a temporal evolution to monumentality. However, the dating shows a more complex reality, since it is likely that the large tombs functioned as funerary pantheons during the 4th millennium BC, characterized by a cyclical and recurrent use. In contrast, the simpler structures were preferred to be of shorter use and restricted to the first half of the 4th millennium.
