La Devesa Dolmen Verified listing

This is a Middle Neolithic passage tomb. The first known reference is from Isidre Macau in 1934. He dug a ditch around the dolmen with Mateu Turrò, digging 40 cm into the ground and uncovering a large number of pottery pieces, a fragment of human bone, other bone fragments, and a polished basalt axe. In 1942, August Panyella and Miquel Tarradell found several handmade pottery fragments, both on the surface of the chamber and in its interior coves. Anna Ferran and Miquel Cura discovered a fragment of carinated pottery when they studied the tomb. Based on its architectural style, Tarrús (2002) dates the dolmen to the second phase of the Alt Empordà - Rosselló passage tombs, that is, to the early 4th millennium BC.
