Overview
This collection of essays re-evaluates the Prehistory of the Inner Tagus, traditionally seen as an area devoid of settlement and the more complex cultures concentrated in coastal areas. Countering this picture the contributors present evidence for funerary practices including necropoli, as well as megaliths and rock art. 11 essays in English, 4 in Spanish.
