Entre lo pagano y lo cristiano. Espacios funerarios romanos y tardoantiguos en Galicia

Abstract

This paper makes an approach to the Galician Roman funerary world through the study of 48 cemeteries between the 1st century B.C. and the 6th century A.D. The research brought to light the vast amount of late antique inhumation cemeteries and its distribution around the Pontevedra’s coast. Moreover, these funerary areas had spatial relations with hillforts and civitates/port towns. Finally, we want to highlight the significant absence of information which has hindered the research of certain graveyards.
