| Resumo: | [EN] In this paper an overview of the Neolithic funerary practices of the Lower course of the Ebro river is presented, which was the aim of the PhD dissertation of one of the authors (JB). Moreover, new radiocarbon dates performed thanks to the collaboration between the CNA of Seville, the IMF from Barcelona and the UAB are published, as well as compared with those ones available from the Catalan “Pit Burials” horizon. In this region, a total of 83 burials were attributed to the Neolithic. Nearly all of them were discovered by Francisco Esteve, during the 50´s and the 60´s of the 20th century, along the possible shore of an ancient lagoon. Three types of individual inhumations are distinguished: lateral cavities with or without a well; pits with slabs and stone boxes with tumulus. The inhumated, in fetal position, were associated with pottery vessels, lithic industry, neackles or bracelets. The ceramic vessels, attributed to the Epicardial Early Neolithic, the Postcardial Middle Neolithic and the Middle Neolithic, suggested a relative chronology for these burials between 5th millenium and the second half of the 4th millenium cal BC. Three fragments of human bones ceded by the Museum of the Ebro Lands from the graves Masdenvergenc I, Masdenvergenc X and Clota del Molinàs I have been analyzed by 14C. The radiocarbon dates determined that the burials from Masdenvergenc were the one of the oldest from the “Pit Burials”. Finally, the appropriation of a valuable resource related to these funerary contexts is also exposed: the rich industry of shells used as body ornaments. |
