Éssers de pedra. Les estàtues-menhirs i esteles antropomorfes de l'art megalític de Catalunya

Abstract

With the finds of the statue menhirs at Ca l’Estrada (2004), Pla de les Pruneres (2009) and the sculptures at Reguers de Seró (2007), Catalan Megalithism is contributing the latest and most important new developments in the European phenomenon of Final Neolithic anthropomorphic statuary. Catalonia is now at the forefront of research on the Megalithic art produced between the late 4th and the 3rd millenniums. Although Catalan anthropomorphic representations have been shown to have a character of their own, they share features and links with other nearby figurative groups, including those in Rouergue and Languedoc.
