Burial Chamber (Dolmen) in AndalucÃa
The Dolmen del Collado de los Bastianes is located on the Cerro Veleta hill, south of Jaén in Andalusia in Spain.
The structure consists of a recessed, roughly rectangular chamber made up of six orthostats and the split capstone. The large, once possibly circular, horizontal capstone has dimensions of 2.7 x 1.7 m. The walls of the chamber consist of almost rectangular, standing stones that are between 1.4 and 0.7 m wide. The average thickness of the approximately 1.0 m high stones is 30 cm. Shattered pottery and bones, including a jaw, were found in the dolmen, which was looted several times.
