Abstract

The Megalithism in the Duero Basin shows a wide range of different monuments, both the more orthodox types (simple dolmens and passage graves) and others lacking the orthostatic structures (simple mounds, “lime-kiln” tombs). In this article two recent discoveries are presented that were found and excavated in the Burgos and Soria provinces. Different closure rituals were documented in them involving the dismantling of previous collective graves and the subsequent transformation of those burial spaces, through complex ceremonies and even architectonic reforms, into veneration places to the memory of the ancestors deposited there, within the ritual landscape organized around them.
