Abstract
La excavación en curso de un monumento escalonado en el yacimiento de Mestre Ramon en la isla de Mallorca ha aportado nueva información cronológica y arquitectónica que ha motivado una revisión analítica de las estructuras conocidas como monumentos escalonados en Mallorca. La combinación de la información cronológica existente con nuevas dataciones radiocarbónicas relacionadas con el yacimiento de Mestre Ramon ha permitido situar el momento de construcción de los monumentos escalonados en el período Prototalayótico (ca. 1100/1000-850 cal a.n.e.). Este encuadre cronológico ha sido la base del análisis de las características arquitectónicas de dichos monumentos y su relación con otras estructuras. El trabajo que se presenta ofrece una caracterización preliminar, pero detallada, de las peculiaridades materiales de los monumentos escalonados y de su dimensión social dentro de los procesos de transformación social que se desarrollaron durante el final de la Edad de Bronce en Mallorca.
Highlights
Monumental structures, such as naviforms, talaiots and settlement walls, are the most emblematic material expressions of the late prehistory of the island of Ma llorca (Fig. 1) 1
This article puts special emphasis on the Mestre Ramon monument; unpublished information is presented, since it is the ongoing excavations at that site that motivated the writing of this state of the art analysis of the stepped structures in Mallorca
The monument of Son Ferrer is composed of five concentric walls, three of them merging into one wall in the western sector
Summary
Monumental structures, such as naviforms, talaiots and settlement walls, are the most emblematic material expressions of the late prehistory of the island of Ma llorca (Fig. 1) 1. These monuments are still a part of the. The study of these four structures, together with the ones excavated earlier (such as Son Oms and Pula), enables us to undertake a preliminary definition of the material characteristics of the stepped monuments and their social significance in the prehistory of Mallorca. This article puts special emphasis on the Mestre Ramon monument; unpublished information is presented, since it is the ongoing excavations at that site that motivated the writing of this state of the art analysis of the stepped structures in Mallorca
