The funerary deposition of some 12 kg of burnt bones is uncommon in the cultural context of the Iberian Late Prehistory and allows for a statistical approximation of the material transformations occurring in the bones during the cremation process. The analysis allows us to conclude that cremation was carried out as a form of cadaveric reduction.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Cremated human remains and Iberian megaliths: an analysis from the passage grave of Dolmen de Lácara (Mérida, Spain)journal article2352-4103https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jasrep.2021.103192https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352409X21004041open access903Burned remainsOsteological analysisMegalithic sitesStatisticsCopper AgePrehistoria5504.05 Prehistoria
