Résumé
Between the end of the V Millennium B.C. and the end of III Millennium B.C., megalithic tombs expand over the
Southeastern Iberian Peninsula but their positions, distributions, associations, sizes, shapes and contents are very
different according not only their chronology but mainly their ideological function. A new interpretation about the
Tabernas Corridor (Almeria) megalithic graves situation analysis is proposed here before discussing the differences
among the Los Millares tombs (Santa Fe de Mondújar, Almería) in terms of their location and grave goods as known
from the old excavations by L. Siret and A.Almagro-A.Arribas. Both subjects are included in a wider study of the Late
Prehistoric funerary ritual phenomenology in the Southeastern Iberian Peninsula and its relation to the social
organization through different methodological strategies.
