 ritual and social identity at the Viniadris Cave, your Balearicaidan state. Thank you. I am going to present you the Viniadris Cave. The Viniadris Cave is located at the sodas of Menorca, Iceland, within a complex family landscaping in Calascova. It's located in the Castile Hill of Viniadris, from which the name is given at 40 meters about the flow. The space ritual can be observed at the entrance. The entrance of the natural cave is sealed with a dry stone construction. This is built on the bedrock with a wild and narrow corridor made of a stone with a linter creating a small window. Through this space is the access to the cave. The special characteristic of it, while access on the height of the entrance, is an indication of a sacred space. In the inner side, one can observe at both sides of the entrance the stone misery at the base of the construction and then the dry stone of the upper level. With this idea of preserving, but also hating, this special space, the use of stone from the same geological formation is also intentional to make this space invisible from the outside. The analysis of archeostronomy showed that the selection of the cave and the construction of the entrance are deliberated. During the summer, the light entered directly through the entrance giving light to the different areas until this reaches the end of the cave. The inner space of around 20 square meters was found intact since the cave was left without use 3,000 years ago. This is a sacred natural cave with continuous use during 700 years, 1250 to 42, called BC. And the funerary ritual is collective human remains are coming, but they are deposited intentionally like that. Human bodies were disarticulated, and material culture was mixed with them. As a result, the space is clearly organized, reflecting the social identity of the community, like that. The excellent conservation of the remains allowed the study and analysis of them in order to understand better the funerary practice and their life still. The inner organization was structured and well set up. For example, on the right, there is a rectangular gutting structure with several skulls perfectly organized. This is a deliberate organization of the space that had been already found in other funerary monuments such as the Navetas, typical exclusivity of Menorca, or natural caves such as Skari, for example. This is a ritual act at the beginning of the 1,000 BC, which will last until the 800 BC approximately. In another area of the cave and less visible, there is also another space reserved for the ritual practices. This is an accumulation of a ceramic deliberated fragment. Bodies are placed with several objects, material culture, mailing, ornament, and tools. Those are individual below wind, which are left out of the heather tree lineage, which are finally shared by the community. There are traces of use of the objects, such as the bottom, near the end, and made of bones, a stone bit, or broken point as a consequence of an extensive use in most of the metal hold. Another of the characteristics of the bronze age is the manipulation and treatment of the hair during the funerary ritual. At the vineyard's cave, the element associated to the practice have been also found, and they are similar to the ones found at the Skari cave. Hair with red dye stuff inserted in wood and recipient with leaves on both sides. The leaves made of bone are decorated with a typical concentric circle, also in wood, which avoid form with two perforated handles, such as the ones found at the Spass or Skari. The deposition of the corpus will be accompanied, probably, by ritual celebration in which the ceramic vessel will play an important role. The analysis of organic residues on a representative sample by means of GCMS showing in some cases the presence of residues of vegetable orange and or washi materials and other residues of animal orange. Therefore, in the initial state of analysis, we can say that the ceramic vessel contain different types of enrolled materials. All of these aspects are in consonance with a collective ritual of a social group. Although we can also think that some manifestation could have been restricted to certain persons with social or symbolic prestige, as this was also suggesting for the interpretation of the other caves. Therefore, not all the skulls were arranged in special places, or not the hair for all the individual was treated. The skeleton are found, disarticulated, although in some cases, a particular articulation was found. Periodically or at a specific month or year, the ritual was taken place. Maybe, and this is just an hypothesis, there was a selection of specific bones, such as the skull. Respect to the paleo-demographic analysis, there are several aspects quite relevant about the population that's in ability to the nearby area. Firstly, the representation of all categories of age from neighbor to an advanced age adult. In addition, the estimation of the sex revealed that all the individual game are set to the cave, male, female, and so forth. To the end, the viarcheology of care, which is the surface of viarcheology linked to the care of the individual and the mechanisms to knowledge, to treat certain diseases, is also remarkable, since some individuals may have required some care, especially the very young infant and the advanced age individual. For example, there is also evidence of the preparation with survival. So this is an ongoing project. Still, we are working on the excavation and there are many material analysis. So this talk represents just the preliminary result from the field season 2015 and 2070. And more results will come in Sunday that will help to understand better the funerary ritual at the vineyard escape. Thank you very much.
