RESUMEN
Las grandes construcciones en piedra del megalitismo europeo han sido entendidas como el receptáculo de los enterramientos colectivos extendidos en la fachada atlántica desde el neolítico. Las relaciones entre las diversas manifestaciones arquitectónica y simbólicas de estas necrópolis siguen siendo objeto de discusión respecto a su cronología y diacronía, evolución constructiva, modos de uso, interacciones a mayor o menor escala, orígenes y finalización. Un resumen del estado de la cuestión sobre estos y otros temas conduce a una lectura en la que diversos enclaves funerarios en Europa tuvieron relaciones más estrechas de las asumidas hasta no hace tanto tiempo. La complejidad de estas relaciones supera mecanismos básicos de la difusión marítima, a favor de la integración del megalitismo europeo en las redes sociales y simbólicas de la prehistoria reciente en Europa.

ABSTRACT
The great European megalithic structures have been understood as the receptacle of collective burials across the Atlantic façade since Neolithic times. Relationships between various architectural and symbolic manifestations found in these necropolises remain a contemporary subject of discussion in relation to their chronology and diachrony, architectural evolution, modes of use, interactions on a larger and smaller scale, origins, and final completion. It is generally considered that megalithic funerary sites throughout Europe had closer relations than previously assumed. The complexity of these relations surpasses basic mechanisms of maritime diffusion in favour of an integration of these stone structures within the social and symbolic networks of the late Prehistory in Europe.
