Audiotour The Microtalaiots

The first tombs are a miniature version of the most iconic buildings in their settlements: The Talaiots (both square and round floor plans). Highly skilled building techniques were employed and tombs were frequently reused over the years. Access was via the roof and rarely through a door.

In this period, the tombs were restricted to sex and age with a bias on deceased adult and elderly men; females and the young or infants are less represented.
