摘要:The present paper aims to give a general outline of new data that contributes to a better
understanding of cults and rituals in Alto Ribatejo, central Portugal, during recent prehistory. The
Megalithic Complex of Rego da Murta is the only megalithic set known so far in the Upper Nabão region,
and is therefore of crucial significance to understanding the population dynamics of the people
who inhabited this region. The excellent preservation of deposition contexts – especially those in
Dolmen II of Rego da Murta, and its relative proximity with the cave contexts – makes it the perfect
case study for understanding the burial rites performed in this period.
