Abstract
Monumentos funerarios de tipo tumular están documentados en gran número en Galicia y Norte de Portugal, entre fines del IVo y la primera mitad del IIo milenio ac. Aunque sus características cambiaron a lo largo del tiempo, ocuparon siempre un lugar visible en el paisaje. Por el contrario, los lugares de habitación, bien abrigos rocosos o asentamientos al aire libre, tuvieron un carácter efímero y nunca destacaron en el paisaje. Esa tendencia continuó hasta el Bronce Final, cuando comenzaron a emerger asentamientos fortificados y de carácter estratégico, al tiempo que los monumentos funerarios aparentemente desaparecieron por completo. Así, construcciones monumentales dedicadas a los vivos, habrían reemplazado a las anteriormente dedicadas a los muertos. Sin embargo, ello podría no ser una tendencia generalizada, pues en áreas interiores del NO. donde el habitat permanente parece ser algo más tardío, o en regiones vecinas como Asturias, donde el "vacío habitacional" continúa incluso hasta la Conquista Romana, los monumentos funerarios tumulares podrían haberse prolongado más que en el resto
Between the end of the 4th millenium be and the first half of the 2nd, monumental butial mounds are recorded in vast numbers in Galicia and Northen Portugal: their characteristics change over time, but they oceupy a conspicous place in the landscape. By conttast, settlements have an ephemeral character: they include rock shelters and open air sites and were never a prominent feature of the landscape. This trend continúes until the Later Bronze Age when we find the first use of fortifications and defensible locations. At the same time, funerary monuments may disappear altogether. It seems as if domestic monuments supersede monuments devote to the dead. Anyway this might have not been a general trend, for in inner NW. áreas where fortifications seems to appear later or even in neighboring regions such Asturias where the "habitational vacuum" continúes even until the Román Conquest, monumental burial mounds could have lasted longer than elsewhere
