A recent archaeological study has revealed details about the fascinating and complex megalithic landscape of the Gor River valley, in the Spanish province of Granada, a site that hosts one of the largest concentrations of dolmens in the Iberian Peninsula. The results combine advanced technologies such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and probabilistic analysis to uncover the role of these funerary monuments in shaping the territory during the Recent Prehistory.
