| Sumario: | Prehistoric grave goods materialize a mirror image of everyday’s life transporting us to prehistory domestic life. Whatever may be the architectural forms (use of caves, dolmens, burrows or mounds) the affinity of the ‘offerings’ are universal and connected to the production mode and spiritual environment. The deposition of symbolic items reveals a modestly understood mystic behavior which created a singular system of beliefs. Archaeographic objectivity enables prevailing sampling of ancient reality granting clues on the behaviors the living expressed towards the deceased and death itself. Philosophy, Sociology, and Ecology contribute to the theoretical basis of a new approach to the Archaeology of Death in the Middle Tagus Region. |
