Paisajes megalíticos en contexto: el papel de la litología en la construcción de arquitecturas funerarias en el Guadiana medio

Abstract

Tradicionalmente, el estudio del paisaje ha tenido poca relevancia en la interpretación del megalitismo en el suroeste peninsular. Las investigaciones arqueológicas se enfocaban principalmente en el desarrollo de tipologías arquitectónicas y el estudio de sus ajuares. Afortunadamente, en la actualidad, la nueva información obtenida a través de técnicas no invasivas de documentación, como LiDAR y fotointerpretación, muestra un registro arqueológico más rico y variado de lo esperado, donde el paisaje juega un papel esencial en las dinámicas de ocupación del medio. Un aspecto relevante es el análisis de la litología en relación con las arquitecturas megalíticas para entender cómo las sociedades neolíticas del suroeste peninsular aprovechaban los recursos locales y foráneos, tanto para la construcción de estas arquitecturas como para un asentamiento prolongado en el medio. Por ello, el estudio de las arquitecturas funerarias nos permitirá una primera aproximación a las dinámicas de ocupación de la cuenca media del río Guadiana entre el V y III milenio cal BC, así como el uso de referencias geológicas que identifican la vinculación de los grupos humanos con la naturaleza mediante la selección de las grandes piedras que configuran sus arquitecturas más emblemáticas.

Landscape context has been traditionally ignored in the megalithic studies of Southwestern Iberia. Archaeological research has mainly been focused on architectural typologies and material culture analysis. Nowadays, the application of new non-invasive techniques, such as LiDAR data and photointerpretation, shows a richer and more varied archaeological record than expected where the landscape plays a key role in tomb builders’ occupation dynamics. The analysis of lithology in relation to the megalithic landscape will allow us to understand how Neolithic societies of Southwest Iberia took advantage of local and foreign resources, both for understanding these architectures’ construction and for a long-lasting settlement in landscape. Thus, the study of megalithic tombs in landscape will allow us to make a first approach of the occupation dynamics of the middle Guadiana River basin between the 5th and 3rd millennium cal BC. Besides, it will allow us to use those geological references that identify the relationship between human groups and nature through the selection of large stones that make up their most emblematic architectures.
