dc.description.abstract | The megalithic cluster of the Gor River valley (Andalusia, Spain) is one of the biggest
dolmenic groups in Europe, made up of 151 preserved megaliths. In spite of this high
number of known monuments, increasing loss and destruction of many of the graves
has taken place during the last decades due to enormous soil erosion and anthropogenic
activities. With the aim of recording the location of these lost megaliths, Digital
Terrain Models and LiDAR data have been used to analyse the terrain showing a high
quantity of structures that seem similar to those actually documented in the zone but
that were not noticed until now. These possible new burial mounds have been tested
by archaeological surface survey, choosing three contrasting areas as samples.
Results have shown a high success rate for this methodology, even allowing the discovery
of new megalithic graves in heavily researched areas. We interpret the likely
higher number of burial mounds in the area to indicate greater territorial control in
boundary areas between 4th and 3rd millennium BC. | es_ES |
