Early Neolithic Ritual Funerary Behaviours in the Westernmost Regions of the Mediterranean New Insights from Dehesilla Cave (Southern Iberian Peninsula). Documenta Praehistorica, 48, 298-327.1854-2492https://hdl.handle.net/11441/135695An intact archaeological context named Locus 1 has recently been discovered at Dehesilla Cave (southern Spain). The ritual funerary deposition consists of a complete pottery jar with part of a human calvarium over the mouth, and was occulted by large stone blocks. This paper offers a presentation of the new data provided mainly by the stratigraphic, osteological, pottery, lithic and radiocarbon analyses. A systematic review of the relevant evidence in the Iberian Peninsula during the Early Neolithic (c. 5600–4800 cal BC) provides a context for this finding and supports its interpretation with reference to several possible anthropological scenarios.application/pdf30 p.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacionalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Neolithicritualhuman skullinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess10.4312/dp.48.88645
