- Abstract
The Alto de la Huesera dolmen was excavated in 1948. In 2010 a new archaeological fieldwork started with the objective of determining the condition of the monument, subsequently restoring it. In these works the team located a sandstone stela in the burial mound and beside the corridor, datable to the Chalcolithic age. The engravings are five deep parallel grooves that come in contact at the end creating a bell-shaped form and two pointed shapes that are connected with a 'puñal de lengüeta'. This discovery and the revision of the post-Paleolithic graphic entities from the Basque-Navarre area allow the documentation of the graphic diversity, both in theme and context, of the artistic phenomenon of Prehistory.
