Abstract
The archaeological excavation carried out in 1988 by the University of Málaga’s Area of Prehistory in the surrounding area of the Viera dolmen identified significant evidence of settlement and funerary practices in Antiquity.

The typological and technological studies of material, mainly pottery and metal objects, along with the bioarchaeological characterisation and radiocarbon dating of the faunal and human remains have revealed an intense funerary activity between the IInd and IVth centuries cal AD and a main settlement phase between the Vth and VIIth centuries cal AD. This burial activity suggests the continuity of the social, ideological and religious significance of Menga and Viera through the first half of the 1st millennium AD. (Less)
