Archaeologists from the University of Cadrez discovered Dolman in the fourth excavation of La Lentjula Nicopolis. The monument is 13 meters (43 feet) long, with the walls containing two meters (6.6 feet) high comprising orthostas (vertical stone slabs) and has a complex management of interior parts. It was placed with a roof with large stone slabs placed horizontally on the orthosts, and then a tumor of sand and stones was made on top of it.
Inside it, the team found a number of mutilated ovarians and graves, including ivory, amber, and seashells, as well as sophisticated pieces, such as arrow heads, large format flint blades, and an extraordinary Holbard made from foreign raw materials.
According to Professor Ceraphin Basra, “we can talk about a very memorable and complete dolman all over Andalusia.” For our part, the project co -director of the project Edwardo Vijande emphasized that “the real potential of this structure is in its extraordinary protection, which will allow us to seek a detailed understanding of the lifestyle and beliefs of these communities.”
The team also emphasized the symbolic value of the items found. As described by Professor Joan Jesus Kentlo of the University of Cadities, “The presence of sesame seeds in an internal region reflects the importance of sea as a factor of dignity and the existence of long -distance exchange networks.”
