| Palabra clave: | Burial caves Neolithic Chalcolithic Megalithic sites |
| Sumario: | [EN]: During the last years we conducted an excavation project in two caves and a small shelter at Canaleja Gorge (Romangordo, Cáceres, Spain). Although the stratigraphy was not optimally preserved in all the caves, we could document three funerary spaces that comprise a long chronological sequence, from Early Neolithic to Chalcolithic. In this paper we discuss the relationship between burial caves and megaliths in the region, by considering a common social and cultural background for both kinds of sepultures. |
