Research talk. The Scottish Isles and Galicia: investigating shared values in megalithic Europe

Abstract

[EN] Speaker: Gail Higginbottom (The Australian National University). There are hundreds of free-standing stone monuments in western Scotland and no-one really understands how they were used or why they were built. My project uncovers something about the interactions between the builders and their monuments by investigating the reasons behind the locational choices for the monuments. This talk will explain some of the background, methods and outcomes of the evidence-based, interdisciplinary investigations done in Scotland and show how all the monuments together form an expression of communal belief systems across geographical areas & explain something of what these systems might be. The immediacy and striking nature of the land and sky–scapes, helps point to the possible essential nature of both the individual’s experience and the community’s understanding of their world in Scotland. I shall then suggest how these approaches, combined with others so far missing from the Scottish project, would assist in the research of megalithic monuments of Galacia. In particular, how creating a comparative project, might enable us to assess whether or not understandings and values associated with the creation of megalithic monuments were shared between previous and current cultures in different regions across Europe.

[ES] Ponente: Gail Higginbottom (The Australian National University). Hay cientos de monumentos de piedra aislados en Escocia occidental y nadie realmente entiende cómo fueron usados o por qué fueron construidos. En esta charla se explican algunos de los antecedentes, métodos y resultados de las investigaciones realizados en Escocia y se muestra cómo todos los monumentos juntos forman una expresión de creencias comunes a través de áreas geográficas y se explica lo que podrían ser estos sistemas. La inmediatez y la impresionante naturaleza de la tierra y el cielo ayudan a indicar la posible naturaleza esencial tanto de la experiencia del individuo como de la comprensión de la comunidad en Escocia. Se sugiere cómo estos enfoques, junto con otros que hasta ahora faltan en el proyecto escocés, ayudarían en la investigación de monumentos megalíticos de Galicia. En particular, se plantea cómo se podría crear un proyecto comparativo que permitiría evaluar si los conceptos y valores asociados con la creación de monumentos megalíticos fueron compartidos entre las culturas anteriores y actuales en las distintas regiones en toda Europa.
