Description:
EL CAÑO: SOCIAL ORDER IN THE NECROPOLIS OF “EL CAÑO”

Summary: This poster presents the results of an investigation into social order, the aim of which was to determine whether the society buried in the tombs of El Caño was a stratified society. The relationship between wealth and the sex and age of individuals and the spatial organization of the cemetery was observed. The presence of infants with rich funerary attires and the existence of an area for high status graves and a separate area for low status graves indicate that the society represented in El Caño was a stratified society.
