Abstract

The prehistoric necropolis of Los Algarbes (Tarifa, Cádiz) is located in the South of Iberian Peninsula, more specifically in an interesting geographical area such as Strait of Gibraltar. Thanks to the new archaeological interventions developed by our research group, we have been able to deepen in the knowledge about the communities that built and used this funerary complex. In addition, we present the last radiocarbon dating collected from two funerary structures excavated in 2013 and 2014. These dates are crucial to know the diachronic use of this necropolis along the recent Prehistory.
