Description
The different ways of burying the dead documented in Portuguese territory are characterized, from the Early Neolithic to the end of the Chalcolithic, both in individual graves and in collective necropolises, using different sepulchral constructions: natural caves, artificial caves, dolmens and false vault graves (tholoi), revealing different traditions and cultural influences.
