El Ritual Funerario en la Prehistoria Reciente en el Sur de la Peninsula Iberica Juan Antonio Cámara Serrano

Through an analysis of burials and funerary practices in southern Iberia, Cámara explores the wider issues of social, territorial, political and organisational change from the Neolithic through to the Bronze Age. A number of sites are investigated in southern and southeast Spain and this evidence is then used to interpret different types of funerary ritual, ideologies, the development of permanent settlement and hierarchies, and the use of megaliths in the south and as part of a much broader phenomenon.
