Abstract


In this paper we present the corded zone maritime bell beaker of Forno dos Mouros Dolmen (Toques, A Coruña), an exceptional piece in the regional context. New features of the decorative techniques used and archaeometric determinations (i.e. mineralogical and geochemical composition) allowed to know other aspects of this vase, until now unpublished. The results emphasize a local manufacture but with strong decorative influences linked to Britanny (France), consequence of the complex networks of circulation in III millenium BC in Europe.
