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. 606 $aMegalithic monuments$zIberian Peninsula 606 $aTombs$zIberian Peninsula 607 $aEurope$zIberian Peninsula$2fast 615 0$aMegalithic monuments 615 0$aTombs 676 $a930.14 702 $aScarre$b Christopher 702 $aOosterbeek$b Luís 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793820503321 996 $aMegalithic tombs in Western Iberia$93755489 997 $aUNINA
