Funerary Archaeology in Spain: Prehistoric Cave and Roman Necropolis Dig
sanisera
The Cape of Cavalleria Ecomuseum in Menorca, Spain,
has scheduled for 2012, the excavation of two burial sites: The Roman
Necropolis and the Prehistoric Cave. The students will be introduced to
Mediterranean Physical Anthropology by excavating in these two sites: the
prehistoric cave during the first half of the course, and the Roman Necropolis
during the second half. The Roman Necropolis Dig involves the excavation of a
cluster of roman tombs belonging to a cemetery located on the outskirts of the
roman city of Sanisera, which was occupied from 123 B.C. to 550 A.D. The Prehistoric Cave Dig is focused on the excavation of funerary deposits made
by the first inhabitants of Menorca. The dig takes place in a cave known as
“Cueva de la Costa Norte”, very close to the Cape of Cavalleria Ecomuseum. It
is a collective burial site which dates between 2000 and 1350 B.C. It involves
the collection of burnt bone samples, pottery vessels, bronze and bone pendants
and beads, among other artifacts.
