The archaeological site of La Esparragosa is located in the province of Cadiz, Spain, on the northern shore of the Strait of Gibraltar.
The tomb under consideration is an exceptional example, within the context of the so-called “Silos Fields culture”. Excavations have attested a burial pit for one individual, who was found covered by a layer of Ruditapes decussatus (clam) (477 specimens in total).
This article presents the first results of the multidisciplinary studies carried out on this burial, including 14C AMS and TL datings, physical anthropology studies and archaeozoological, archaeometrical, use-wear and pollen analysis. These studies highlight the importance of marine resources for this community, both in economic and ideological terms.
