Catálogo de estelas discoideas de época medieval pertenecientes al yacimiento de “La Mezquita” (Cadalso de los Vidrios, Madrid)

Abstract

The archaeological interventions that have been carried out in the last years in the site of La Mezquita (Cadalso de los Vidrios, Madrid) have served to recover a set of diverse materials ranging from the XIth century to the present day. One of these materials are the discoid stelae that were used as markers of burial so that family and friends do not forget the deceased. The use of these elements includes a chronology that covers, mainly, the XI-XIV centuries when, after completing their primary function, they will be employed in a secondary school, as constructive elements.
