Less well known is the major concentration of tombs along the Tagus valley, straddling the Portuguese-Spanish frontier. Within this cluster is the Anta da Lajinha, a small megalithic tomb in the hill-country north of the River Tagus. Badly damaged by forest fire and stone removal, it was the subject of joint British-Portuguese excavations in 2006-2008, accompanied by environmental investigations and OSL dating. This volume takes the recent excavations at Lajinha and the adjacent site of Cabeco dos Pendentes as the starting point for a broader consideration of the megalithic tombs of western Iberia. Key themes addressed are relevant to megalithic tombs more generally, including landscape, chronology, settlement and interregional relationships. A final section considers the Iberian tombs within the broader family of west European megalithic monuments, focusing on chronologies, parallels and patterns of contact.Megalithic monumentsIberian PeninsulaTombsIberian PeninsulaEuropeIberian PeninsulafastMegalithic monumentsTombs930.14Scarre ChristopherOosterbeek LuísMiAaPQMiAaPQUtOrBLWBOOK9910813586503321Megalithic tombs in Western Iberia3950181UNINA
