LA LAJA DECORADA DE OS CAMPIÑOS

Decorated upright from Os Campiños:The paper deals with the find of a large carved stela after the destruction of a barrow at Os Campiños (Rianxo, A Coruña). The character of the carvings and their distribution on both faces of the stone suggest that we are before an anthropomorphic representation that initially stood in the open-air. At a certain point it was probably incorporated as a part of the stone chamber contained within the mound. Lacking any clear context and with few clear parallels, its chronology remains obscure ranging from the Neolithic to the Copper Age.
