Primitiva Bueno Ramírez, Professor of Prehistory at the University of Alcalá, is a specialist in megaliths. She has field experience in Europe’s most emblematic monuments, where the performance of death included decorated walls, coloured corpses, steles, statues and menhirs, as well as figurines. She has taken an interest in reconstructing these processes beyond architectural typologies, to provide evidence on identity, gender, provenance, burial garments and shared iconographies on both a small and large scale.

Rich in form and context, these “sun-eyed” images reveal identities, ideologies, and long-distance connections within European prehistory. READ MORE
