Rituels invisibles. L’espace rituel protohistorique de Mata del Fraile (Brañosera-Barruelo de Santullán, Palencia, Espagne)
Résumé
The site of Mata del Fraile comprises c. 50 barrows near the oppidum of Monte Bernorio (Pomar de Valdivia, Palencia). The excavation of two stone structures yielded no funerary evidence. The proximity of agro-pastoral areas suggests a symbolic use despite scarce material evidence. Similar structures excavated nearby date to the Iron Age. Mata del Fraile illustrates the interpretational challenges of Cantabrian ritual areas: places of pilgrimage or gathering? Territorial markers of forest exploitation or summer pastures connected to settlements?
