El Camp de les Lloses researchers Montserrat Duran, Imma Mestres and Dolors Moles delivered the following paper: Maternity and prenatal burials in the Roman-republican civilization at El Camp de les Lloses (Tona, Barcelona): interpretations and meanings.
Abstract
The burial of babies who had died perinatally is a documented practice since the Bronze Age, especially among protohistorical communities located at the southern Gaul and the North-eastern and Eastern of the Iberian Peninsula. The period of greatest diffusion of this type of burials spans from mid-fifth century b.C. to the early second century b.C, and then remains constant during the Roman-Republican period until the Medieval Ages.
The present work discloses the finding of nine perinatal burials in the Roman-Republican settlement at El Camp de les Lloses (Tona, Barcelona, Catalonia). It is a small vicus related to the construction of the road network that joins the central Catalan coast with inland territory, and where there have been documented several productive activities possibly related to military logistics. The chronology of the settlement is restricted to a single moment of occupation from 125 b.C to 75 b.C. The absence of a long occupation, together with the homogeneity of the settlement as a whole, makes this place a reference for knowledge on funeral rituals that, in our view, would be carried out by indigenous women that would share their lives with the men, most of them Italic legionaries and auxiliary troops. The work introduces this and others interpretations related to the presence -or absence- of perinatal burials in the vicus for discussion.
