The Dolmen de Soto is considered one of the premier Neolithic
passage graves in the Iberian Peninsula. Set within a flat fertile
plain and c. 8.5km south-east of the town of Trigueros in
Andalucia, this monument was in use some 5000 years ago and was
part of a unique pan-Atlantic European cultural revolution that
included ornamentation of the internal spaces of many passage grave
monuments. The site was discovered in 1923 by Armando de Soto
Morillas and subsequently excavated over three consecutive seasons
by the German archaeologist Hugo Obermaier. The passage and chamber
are constructed within a low circular mound that measures 75m in
diameter, making it one of the largest passage graves in Europe.
The Dolmen de Soto has recently undergone a significant restoration
programme and as part of this project, engraved and painted images
upon the upright stones within the passage and chamber areas were
investigated and recorded by a team of international scientists
between 2016 and 2017 using a variety of photogrammetric methods.
This publication tells the fascinating story of the archaeological
and historical context of the site, along with the methods employed
and stunning results the project yielded.
