«The Rock-Cut Tomb of Bolores (Torres Vedras): An Interdisciplinary Approach to Understanding the Social Landscape of the Late Neolithic/Copper Age of the Portuguese Estremadura»

 

(Abstract)

To better understand the sociopolitical landscape of the Portuguese Estremadura during the Late Neolithic/Copper Age, interdisciplinary excavations were conducted at Bolores (Torres Vedras), in the Sizandro River Valley. Following a test season in 1986, a University of Iowa team conducted four campaigns between 2007 and 2012. Bolores is an artificial cave used primarily between 2800-2600 cal BC for the burial of adults, adolescents, and children (MNI=37). The architectural, material cultural, and bioarchaeological evidence suggests that Bolores housed the remains of a distinctive group of local individuals, some of whom who were biologically related and some with ancestry in North Africa, who marked their difference from other burial populations in the Sizandro and Estremadura through material culture and tomb architecture. Social differences appear to have been denoted spatially and through offerings of material goods.
