Solar d’en Gibert Dolmen Verified listing

This is a passage tomb from the Middle Neolithic period. Salvador Sanpere i Miquel named it the Devesa de Torrent dolmen in 1881. But Isidre Macau thought it was undiscovered when he studied the dolmen in 1934 and drew a new diagram, giving it the current name Solar d’en Gibert. Excavations were conducted in 1979 and 1988. The 1979 excavation yielded 110 undecorated hand-made pottery fragments, 42 fragments of bell-shaped vessels, and 13 fragments of bell-shaped bowls, in addition to 10 pieces of necklace, five of which were made of gold, and a flint blade. In 1995, several members of GESEART were responsible for overseeing their restoration. 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 second half of the 4th millennium BC.
