| Sumario: | This paper is part of the information gathered during the excavations carried out in the dolmen of the Cobertoria, between 2016 and 2019. The text is focused on the last building phase of the megalith, dated by radiocarbon in the middle of the fourth millennium bc. The architecture of the passage tomb created a capsule that collected plenty of information about the environment nearby the dolmen. All this despite its occasional openings, during the burial rites. The sieving of the samples allow us to recover an interesting group of prehistoric pollen, archaeologically contextualized thanks to a well-defined sequence. From these data the possible presence of crops, gramineous and leguminous plants, can be assured, as well as the proximity of some fungi that affects to cereals. Five different types of pollen tree were recovered in the access too. Other species very common during the recovery of the soils after fires, like the ferns, appeared in the results. Finally, other shrubs, very linked with fires due to their properties as fuel, appeared inside the dolmen. |
