Abstract


In this paper, the observations made by Father Martin Sarmiento (1695-1772) upon the megalithic complex in Galicia are collected and analysed in their historical context. On this basis, his contribution to our knowledge of this phenomenon is discussed, and it is argued that he was the first scholar to consider the monuments as actual sources of information about the past. Lastly, a table with his references to specific megaliths and their location is presented, in the hope that this could be of use for modem archaeological surveys.
