Abstract
Although rare in prehistoric Europe, intramural burials
are the rule during the Early and Middle Bronze
Age in the south of the Iberian Peninsula, where they
are best explored in the region of the southeast Spanish
El Argar area. They are usually single or double
graves that were set into buildings or between them.
This phenomenon begins suddenly after ca 2200 BC
with the transition to the Bronze Age, following a two
millennia-old tradition of collective burials, often in
megaliths. Only a few cases of the continued use of
megaliths into the Bronze Age have been observed.
In general, the construction of the intramural graves
seems to constitute an integrative part of a new settlement
pattern of narrowly packed residences in defensive
positions, with only a few installations outside.
The phenomenon of burials in living spaces persists
until the late 16th century BC, when archaeological
manifestations of the treatment of the deceased remained
generally absent in large parts of the Iberian
Peninsula until the Early Iron Age.
