‘Biografía’ de un monumento megalítico: fases de uso y clausura en el dolmen de El Teriñuelo (Aldeavieja de Tormes, Salamanca)

Abstract

The passage grave of El Teriñuelo is located in the village of Aldeavieja de Tormes (province of Salamanca). It is part of one of the most important and well-documented megalithic areas of inner Iberian Peninsula. Since before 1930 several archaeological works have taken place at this passage grave, thanks to which it has been possible to reconstruct parts of its ‘biography’. The last excavation season, conducted by the authors of this paper in 2005, discovered new evidences of the use sequence and, mainly, of the closure event of this monument. In this paper the archaeological remains of this single ritual ceremony will be presented within the context of the different use phases of the dolmen, with a biographic approach which attempts to deal with the complex superposition of ritual practices of the ‘life-history’ of this important ceremonial and burial centre.
