Estudio de la procedencia de los materiales de construcción del dolmen de Puigseslloses (Folgueroles-Osona, Barcelona)

Abstract

In this study we carry out a provenance study of the rocks used to build up the Puigseslloses megalith- ic tomb (Folgueroles, Barcelona province, Spain). Throughout a comparative petrologic and sedimen- tologic analysis of the materials used in this monument and those similar ones cropping out in the nearby areas, we deduce that the supplying area is the Paleogene Folgueroles Sandstone Formation.
