| Resumo: | [EN] This study examines the landscape of two megalithic monuments, La Mina and El Pendón, with the aim of exploring the reasons and/or conditions that prompted prehistoric communities to construct them in their particular location. The objective is to ascertain whether the significant similarities documented in their respective biographies are also reflected in the landscape. To this end, an archaeo-geographic methodology has been employed, integrating the multidimensional analysis of the landscape with the use of GIS tools for spatial analysis. The study has enabled the documentation of similarities, such as the good accessibility of both monuments to natural passageways and water resources, as well as their potential symbolic association with unique natural elements, which may have influenced their spatial configuration. In contrast, the low weight of variables such as visual or altitudinal dominance is remarkable. The results indicate that social or symbolic factors, linked to human decisions, were primary determinants in the siting of both monuments. Furthermore, they suggest that, despite their monumentality, these megaliths were not built to be landmarks in the landscape, nor did they play a dominant role in its overall configuration. |
