| Resumo: | [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. [ES]: Durante los últimos años hemos realizado excavaciones en dos cuevas y un pequeño abrigo de la Garganta Canaleja (Romangordo, Cáceres). Aunque la estratigrafía no estaba conservada en todos los contextos excavados, fue posible documentar tres espacios funerarios que comprenden una dilatada secuencia, desde el Neolítico Antiguo al Calcolítico. En este artículo, discutimos brevemente la relación entre las cuevas sepulcrales y los megalitos de la región, considerando que existe un trasfondo social y cultural común para ambos contextos. |
