Dolmen of Trullars
The Dolmen of Trullars (also called Dolmen del Trullars or Dolmen del Pla de Trullars) is a Bronze Age (2500 to 1200 BC) construction made of large stone slabs. It is a dolmen with a simple chamber that is dated to the Bronze Age (2000 to 1500 BC). Pla de Trullars is located south of Monistrol de Calders near Artés in Catalonia in Spain .
The first scientific investigation took place in 1920 by J. Gudiol, the second in 1958 by R. Batista. Before the north-south oriented dolmen was hit by forest fires in 2003, it was surrounded by pine trees and undergrowth. An analysis of the entire area was carried out for its restoration by J. Guardia between 2003 and 2006. The restoration was carried out with the intention of including the dolmen in a tourist-cultural route.
The simple undifferentiated chamber made of rectangular bearing stones and sickle-shaped floor slabs is 3.22 m long and 1.73 m wide. Around the chamber was a round hill about 11.0 m in diameter made of earth and stones. Access to the interior was blocked by a panel that was removed during burials.
Ceramic finds: 45 fragments of small-format hand-made ceramic, four fragments of smooth black ceramic, four fragments of the edges of undefined cups with smooth surfaces; a fragment of reddish ceramic with incised decoration made up of four groups of parallel lines.
Bone finds: 34 tooth pieces and seven teeth from adults as well as a lower jaw fragment with six tooth alveoli .
