Dolmen Chan da Arquiña

The Chan da Arquiña mound was excavated in 1953 by Ramón Sobrino, who found various ceramic fragments of what could have been maritime bell-shaped vessels whose antiquity could be dated between 2300-2200 BC, according to the typology established by Bosch-Gimpera. Several fragments of flint axes and a triangular-shaped flint microlith, with a base of 30 mm and a height of 18 mm, were also found. At the entrance to the corridor, a polished stone ax with a trapezoidal section and handle marks, 40X40 mm and 218 mm long, was recovered. In addition, a stone sharpener, eight fragments of flint tools, twenty-eight small quartz flakes, four fine quartz flakes and two of rock crystal, nine small fragments of limonite and thirty-one disc-shaped beads of organic matter were obtained. .
