Abstract

The fourth millennium BC in Sardinia is marked by the development of a major and unique rock-cut tomb tradition. Locally known as domus de janas (house of the fairies), these monuments were used for collective burial during the Late Neolithic and Chalcolithic periods in the island (c. 4400-2600) and are usually found grouped together in cemeteries. They have a complex architecture made of several successive spaces (dromos, antechamber, central large chamber, cells) which suggests elaborate death rituals were held inside them. Some tombs are decorated with carved and painted motifs in order to resemble the interior of houses.
