Túmulo de Son Ferrer

A well preserved layered tumulus in Mallorca. Built at the beginning of the Iron Age (850 BC) over an artificial funerary cave of the Bronze Age (1800-1500 BC). Initially the purpose of the tumulus was for ritual use but several centuries later the Bronze Age necropolis was re-used for the new burials, predominantly of the infants. The funerary use of the complex lasted till the beginning of the 3rd century AD.
